The biggest hurdle that Bronny James has to clear to make the NBA may be something his dad can’t support him.It was his support that was partially lost in many comments from NBA Commissioner Adam Silver in the Summer League a few weeks ago. Reduce age limit from 19 to 18Something that needs to happen before the 2023-24 season for Bronnie to jump, as Lebron did many years ago.
According to Silver, rule changes will need to be made during the new CBA negotiations in the early stages between the league and the NBPA.in the meantime ESPN reported Both sides are optimistic and the deal will be agreed before the winter opt-out date. NBC Sports said Not all players and teams participate with a lower minimum draft qualification. There are so many roster locations that, of course, not all members of the Athletes Association are excited about intensifying competition. If negotiations are not closed by the opt-out date, the CBA may expire next summer.
Lebron’s dedication to staying fit doesn’t mean that he will be physically unable to play NBA basketball between 2024 and 25. Therefore, regardless of whether Bronnie needs to fill a gap year abroad or on a college campus, the NBA’s roster may show his father and son tandem. There may be more family photo shoots of Janice Adetokuonpo than Griffy hits a series of home runs. (Lebron’s other son, Bryce, is heading for the second grade season in the Sierra Canyon and is already almost 6 feet 6 He looks like his dad More physically than his brother. )
Bronnie is currently by 247 Sports 50th best high school outlook We are heading for his senior season. In the last decade, only a few players have finished ranking in that range to influence the league. The biggest names are Zack Levin (50th in 2013), Norman Powell (52nd in 2011), Dejounte Murray (49th in 2015), Chuma Okeke and Jordan Poole (2017 respectively). 50th and 51st). Robert Willams and Kevin Huerter (50th and 51st respectively in 2016). And, as expected, there aren’t many short guards on that list.
Obviously, all those players were drafted, with the highest being Levine in 13th place in 2014. The difference is that if you put your name in the draft after graduating from high school, those players are likely not selected. If the NBA team chose only from the pool of high school talent, the child coming to number 50 on the 247 big board could be chosen. They do not almost guarantee that international talent and existing college prospects, rather than surnames and pedigrees, will require players of Bronnie’s height and skill set to spend a year in college.

Other wrinkles when you get older: Double draft, And Prince James (with no slight intention) became his high school class and group, and last year’s graduates are currently spending a one-off season. The only way Bronnie graduates from high school and is drafted is if he grows 5 inches and swings a trajectory during the fourth grade. Or if the team wants to fuck the Lakers and exchange for Bronnie or force Lebron to exchange for them.
Recent recruitment specialists Told Sports Illustrated Not many colleges courtship Bronnie because it assumes that Bronnie will go straight to the NBA. (My guess is that he has a contract with a team to which his father belongs as an undrafted free agent.)
“I think everyone agrees that he’s a great player at the college level who can make a big difference in victory from day one. I haven’t heard anything definitive from Bronnie’s camp. But I think he’s aware that he’s unlikely to play college basketball, “says Adam Finkelstein of 247Sports.
About him Official recruitment pageDuke, Kansas, Kentucky, and North Carolina are on his list of interests, but he doesn’t have a single offer.
I fully understand why my son wants to quit college to play pop at the Lakers and why Lebron really wants it. It’s just … I don’t know how much Bronnie will actually play unless he belongs to the G League, which I don’t think my dad will allow or bend over. Maybe they share the floor during the trash time, and we still get a cool son-to-father alley-oop. Judging by the presence of his social media, Bronnie is convinced that he is good at celebrating the bench.
That said, if the age limit remains the same (at least a little longer), I’ll be more entertaining, so Bronnie has to spend a year actually playing basketball in one of those Blue Blood programs. It will not be. That said, NBA Twitter has invested enough energy in his career and it’s worth seeing how good he really is before being driven by a puff piece in a warm-up.
And if I’m Bronnie, I want to know how much basketball success is the product of my own efforts.
