Props to the kid for coming back from that heart scare he had last year, but this move to declare for the draft now just smells fishy. Start with the fact that he had a very mediocre 1st year playing Div. 1 college basketball and of course, we all know how bad his dad LeBron wants to play with him in the NBA. Hell, that’s probably the main reason LBJ is still playing in the League as he approaches 40.
But Bronny clearly isn’t ready for the NBA and nor should he be drafted by any team. Instead, he should take advantage of the transfer portal and go to a less high profile Division 1 team that has a coach with a system that he can start and flourish in, get another year under his belt and hopefully if he stays healthy and does well, declare for the NBA draft next year. Because otherwise, if Bronny does get drafted it’ll undoubtedly be for Lebron’s sake and that just makes Adam Silver and the NBA look bad, really bad.
