Officially present for the next NBA draft, at least if he does not withdraw his name between now and the event, Bronny James is still far from convincing everyone. And that’s the case across the league.
Will we officially see two members of the James family in the NBA next year?
This is a serious possibility since Bronny has decided to enter the NBA draft.
Despite relatively low statistics and difficulties at USC, LeBron’s son wanted to take a new step… even if he protects himself. By entering the NCAA transfer portal, Bronny could easily return to high school if he is not drafted.
A difficult future for Bronny in the NBA?

For now, let’s say that his profile is still far from unanimous in the league.
Folks are scared to say he needs to stay in school and he isn't good enough for the NBA.

People are afraid to say that he needs to stay in school and that he’s not good enough for the NBA.
Will Bronny James complete the process to make it to the NBA? Doubt is allowed when we see the opinion of the scouts. A player with an intriguing future, but far, far from the best.
