Draymond Green defines potential ceiling for Bronny James as LeBron James' son prepares to enter NBA: "He has more than attributes & tools"
Bronny James is closer to making it to the NBA, as the 2024 edition of the draft is scheduled for next month. The 19-year-old prospect has drawn a lot of attention since his high school days, especially considering that his father LeBron James shared his desire to play with his eldest son.
A lot has been said about Bronny's potential NBA career. Draymond Green recently gave his two pennies on this discussion, breaking down what could be Bronny's ceiling in the association.
"I think he has more than enough attributes and tools and things about him that will make him a good backup point guard, at least," Green said in this week's edition of the Draymond Green Show.
"Backup point guards need to pick up full court. He's going to be able to do that with the best of 'em. Backup point guards need to be able to knock down shots. We know he can knock down a shot. Backup point guards need to be smart, not make mistakes. People complain that he played basketball too mistake-free."
Bronny James has said that he has no plans of becoming a second version of his father, and he shouldn't. He's his own person and can make the decisions he feels are right for his career.
Of course, being the son of LeBron James will put pressure and expectations on him, but Bronny has surfed those waves, and he's close to being drafted into the NBA.
Green also responded to people claiming that Bronny James isn't ready for the NBA by asking how many top-10 draft picks are NBA-ready after one season in college.
That didn't stop him from having a solid performance in the NBA Combine, though, and now a couple of teams are reportedly interested in landing Bronny.
College analyst says Bronny James 'answered questions' during NBA Combine
Following a rookie lone season in USC, Bronny James declaring for the draft surprised a lot of people.
He's keen to take the next step in his basketball journey and become a pro, showing interesting things in front of scouts and executives. One college analyst said that some doubts surrounding him in college were cleared by his performances in the Combine.
"There`s obviously questions about his game and how he's gonna fit into the NBA because he wasn't a huge star at USC. And I think he answered some questions on that front this week, talking about.
"I wanna be like Jrue Holiday. I wanna be someone who can embrace my role. I don`t expect I'm going to be a superstar in the NBA, but I do expect to compete," said Kyle Boone.
Bronny doesn't look like the exciting prospect his father was at his age, but he has shown things that suggest he could make it to the league.
