Anonymous NBA Executive Commends Lakers’ Faith in Bronny James
After the Los Angeles Lakers drafted Bronny James, his father, LeBron James, was spotlighted for his influence in drafting his eldest son. Despite initial skepticism, an anonymous NBA executive recently praised the Lakers’ decision to pick Bronny as the No. 55 overall pick.
The executive highlighted the potential that the Lakers saw in Bronny despite his brief college career.
“I don’t think that one year he had is an indication of who he was, what he is, or certainly not what he can be. The Lakers probably saw him working out and hanging around the team. They saw something good in him, so why not take him? A lot of people saw good things in him, but I think they were scared off,” the executive said.
LeBron recently admired Bronny, highlighting his son’s ability to endure criticism. Fans can hope the Lakers’ rookie will demonstrate his value in the future.
