This year's NBA draft brought about a series of reforms, which were single-handedly promoted by NBA commissioner Adam Shaw. One of them is that the players participating in this year's draft will have to play in the Chicago Union tryout. This also led to the Chinese team's youngster Cui Yongxi missing the 2024 draft, and in the G League elite game he joined before, only 5 players were selected for the joint trial list, and Cui Yongxi was not among them.
But this does not mean that Choi Yong-hee will not be able to play in the NBA from now on. He can try out for each team individually, get a training camp contract, or represent the team in Summer League. If there are none, he also has a plan B. It is to follow the example of the previous players, announce their withdrawal before the draft, and then follow the Chinese men's national basketball team to this year's summer league this summer, impressing the HR of each team with outstanding performance.
This year's draft was originally a draft year, but it unexpectedly gained the attention of many fans. A large part of the reason is that the NBA's "prince" is about to land in the league this year, although the performance is not good, but it is good to enjoy the shade with his back to the big tree, and he still gets some privileged opportunities, such as being invited to enter the joint trial. In Game 2 of the joint tryout, Bronny James had a great performance, scoring 13 points (including 2-of-5 three-pointers). And his dad LeBron and mom Savannah were also on the scene to help him, and the attention was directly full.
According to a report by draft expert Peek, Bronny's current draft market is bullish, and there may be 4 teams joining Bronny's talent grabbing battle, although the Lakers are still the most likely, but they are not stable. There are also reports that the Utah Jazz are considering picking Bronny James with the 32nd pick in the second round.
Not to mention anything else, based on the topic alone, Brownie is much higher than this year's champion Lang favorite Sal. The Jazz is a small ball market, and the second-round pick is not the same as before, and it can rely on Bronny to attract a lot of traffic and then cash in, and this deal Anji knows in his heart.
But father and son compete on the same stage has always been James' wish. After he won the NBA's all-time scoring title, playing with Bronny was his last wish, and the Lakers are doing their best to fulfill his dream. But playing with Lao Zhan is not Bronny's wish. Bronny said in an interview that he wanted to play in the NBA instead of playing with his father.
In the latest draft website Draft's mock prediction list, Bronny is predicted to be the 54th pick in the second round, and the Lakers have the No. 55 pick, which is very close.
According to the draft report, Bronny has a good shooting touch, is good at catching and shooting, and has excellent offensive and defensive switching ability, which also reflects his good ability to read the game. Defense is the foundation of Bronny's entry into the NBA. He has a good ability to switch defences, react quickly and respond flexibly to opponents' attacks. In addition, Bronny is able to block the opponent's fast break without losing his position, and even has the ability to chase the hat.
Overall, Bronny has the ability to develop into an effective team player. He can't be in control on the pitch like his father did, but in one thing he can do better. A great functional player would be the way forward for Bronny to enter the NBA.
