Leading NBA draft analyst Jonathan Givony of ESPN has defined why he’s projecting Bronny James to be picked within the high 10 of the 2024 NBA Draft.
The projection stems from Bronny’s speedy enchancment and his weak draft class.
“This is a very underwhelming high school class, one of the worst I have seen in the last 20 years,” Givoney said. “But Bronny James is improving at a rate I haven’t seen from any player in this class. I have been watching him since he was a freshman in high school and every time I see him, he’s a little bit bigger, a little bit stronger, a little bit more explosive, his shooting has improved, his ballhandling is getting better. He’s a tremendous teammate.”

Just don’t count on him to be an All-NBA degree participant.
“We’re not talking about a guy who’s going to be an All-Star in my opinion like his father,” Givony continued. “You’re looking at a De’Anthony Melton, Marcus Smart, best case a Jrue Holiday-type player. A phenomenal role player, who impacts winning at the highest level.”
Bronny has been extensively praised for his unselfishness, and just lately LeBron James stated his son might rating 30 factors per sport if he wasn’t such a team-focused participant.
“Bronny plays the game the right way every single night,” James instructed reporters. “If he wanted to he could shoot 20 shots a game and average 30 but its not about that.”
ESPN’s present projections have Bronny going to the Orlando Magic, a workforce LeBron as soon as swore he would by no means play for.
However, it’s very to laborious to foretell issues like this greater than a 12 months forward of time.
