The Bronny draft has skyrocketed, and it has rushed from the end of the second round to the first round. On May 25, Beijing time, according to NBA Hall of Fame Shams, the Suns will try out James' eldest son Bronny in early June, that is, before the draft. In this year's draft, the Suns have the No. 22 pick, and Bronny is one of the players they want to pick.

Bronny has already received tryouts from more than 10 NBA teams, but he will only visit a handful of popular teams, including the Lakers and Suns. "Bronny wants to have a long career, whether it's in L.A. or whatever," Shams said. James could retire in two years, while Bronny would continue his career. ”

Durant's older brother, Tony Durant, commented below the news: "They're going to shoehorn him (Bronny) into the league. The remark sparked controversy, and a few hours later, Tony Durant deleted the comment. There must also be fans who want to ask: If the Suns draft Bronny with the No. 22 pick, will James decide to join the Suns?

The Suns have already surpassed the second local tyrant line, and there are no middle-class exceptions available, so they can only offer a base salary contract. Let James give up his annual salary of more than $50 million and go to the Suns to get a base salary contract? It's impossible to even think about it!

And now James' attitude has changed, and he no longer asks for father and son to be on the same team. Bronny himself didn't really want to be on the same team as James, saying, "I don't think any team would draft me to get my dad, and I don't think an NBA manager would really allow that to happen." ”

Bronny's agent is also Rich Paul, who is known for his ability and often helps players "go big with small". Speaking about Bronny's draft prospects, Forpaul said, "There are teams that think he's going to be drafted with the 20-40 pick, and there are teams that think he's going to be missed. Bronny won't accept a two-way contract, and all teams know that. ”

Bronny attended a joint NBA tryout last week and was just 6 feet 1.5 inches (about 186.7 centimeters) tall on his bare feet, 6.3 centimeters short of the official NCAA height of 193 centimeters. In the 5v5 joint trial match, Bronny scored 4 points, 4 rebounds and 3 turnovers on 2-of-8 shooting in his debut. In the second game, Bronny scored 13 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists on 4-of-10 shooting.

Brownie has an arm span of 2.01 meters, weighs 95.4 kilograms, has a hand length of 21.6 centimeters, a hand width of 24.1 centimeters, a standing touch height of 2.50 meters, and a running jump of 40.5 inches (about 102.87 centimeters). Bronny had a good bounce and tied for sixth among the rookies in this year's joint tryout. It's a pity that he is less than 1.87 meters tall, which is relatively short in the NBA.

In the NCAA this season, Bronny averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.1 turnovers per game at USC, shooting 36.6% from the field, 26.7% from three-point range, and 67.6% from the free throw line. If it weren't for James' influence, with Bronny's college stats, he probably wouldn't have gotten a combined NBA tryout.

"Bronny is 19 years old, and he's just a kid trying to achieve his dreams, but he's got a lot of hostility and hatred," James said. It's amazing to be able to deal with a lot of pressure and doubts! I hope Bronny can find an NBA template that works for him, like Derrick White, Jrue Holiday , Smart, Mitchell, etc. ”
