Would you draft Bronny James in hopes to get LeBron to come to your team?

Bronny is being set up to fail. He’s nowhere good enough to be on an NBA roster and I have to imagine every other player in the NBA will hate his guts for this.

I'm calling it now, he will be on an NBA roster. For some reason, people in the NBA can't tell LeBron no. They will sacrifice a roster spot on a team for him, and he'll be a G leaguer. The league really doesn't care about integrity or anything like that. LeBron has so much power and connections that someone will make it happen. I kinda feel bad for the kid, he can't win in any situation. Other than being LeBron's kid and never needing to work a day in his life. You wonder if somehow LeBron gets him on the Canton Charge, the G League team there.
 
I feel bad for the kid. He had zero business doing anything aside from returning to school this year.

I've seen a fair amount of combine buzz about him being much shorter in reality than what he's been listed as, being 6'1.5 (no shoes) as compared to supposedly being 6'4. In general he is too small, and in particular he is very small for someone who's alleged strengths are perimeter shooting and defense.

He has zero business getting drafted, and likely just based on the measurables that are coming out should have a really hard time making a G League team barring really shooting the crap out of the ball at the combine and at pre-draft workouts.
 
Bronny has been listed all these years as 6'4". Just heard that at the NBA Combine (whatever they call it) he measured a touch over 6'1". Ooof.

I guess he did have the 2nd best score in some drill that combines agility and 3 point shooting, so there is some talent there, but he isn't ready for the NBA, not by a long shot. Guys who are 6'1" and have barely any playing time in college have no chance in the NBA.

For the record - the Charge are in Cleveland now. They play in CSU's arena.

Have seen a few different social media posts trying to favorably compare his measurables to average to above-average NBA players like Dion Waiters, Gary Harris, Eric Gordon, etc., with a complete lack of acknowledgement that those undersized guys were really, really good college basketball players while Bronny didn't do much of anything at USC.
 
I'm just curious what the NBA coaches think they can do to improve Bronny's game. Has there ever been someone who had better training that Bronny throughout his youth? My guess is that Bronny has very little room to grow as a player. Sure, he'll learn more as he gains experience but I'm not sure his overall game will improve enough to separate him from his USC teammates, let along grow into a legit NBA player.

I can see taking a risk on a 7'1" center that hasn't fully developed yet. A 6'1" guard that has had every advantage seems like a stretch.
 
The hidden truth is Bronny was drafted solely because of who is dad is, and the Lakers and the league will use him for marketing purposes. That's very sad, but it's also very modern NBA. These teams are free to make draft choices they want, and the Lakers certainly aren't the last team to make a poor decision on a draft choice. Now the way this backfires on the Lakers is if they don't win, which will likely occur. They've done next to nothing to make the team better. LeBron is another year older, he's a one way player now and a defensive liability. AD is another year older and coming off of possibly his healthiest season ever and they still didn't win. So the Lakers will run it back with the same crew, D'Angelo Russell, Austin Reeves, Hachimura and rook Dalton Knecht. No free agents want to play with LeBron, they never have. He's too much to take. Klay Thompson, who's Dad works for the Lakers and is from SoCal balked at the Lakers and went to Dallas.
