Criticism of his game: does he deserve the NBA?
Bronny has been the subject of continuous criticism in recent years. He was seen as a good NBA prospect but year after year, despite his surname, his abilities have been losing followers. A anonymous NBA scout he freely attacked him a few weeks ago: “No, he’s not good enough. Maybe if he went back to college for one or two more years. But right now he’s not an NBA player. He’s not even close to being one.” .
He was not the only one limit Bronny’s chances of playing in the NBA to being drafted by the Lakers…to give his father the pleasure of playing with him before he retires. LeBron, 40 in December, has always made it clear that one of the reasons for staying active was to be able to share a team with his son.
“He’s on the shorter side, so he’ll have to be elite on defense. You can see he has good vision, makes the right passes and takes good shots. But he’ll need more time. If the Lakers don’t draft him, I don’t see anyone drafting him,” read another of those leaked NBA scouting reports.
