Post: How Good Is Bronny James

Bronny James suffers cardiac arrest, in stable condition

On July 24th, 2023 Bronny suffered a cardiac arrest while practicing at USC. He was out of the ICU by the next day and in stable condition. Prayers up for his quick recovery to full health.

Draft Notes

Bronny is the oldest son of LeBron James and he’s a gifted basketball talent who should follow his father’s footsteps to the NBA. He’s not nearly as big as his old man but has an above-the-rim game and has the makings of an elite physical profile plus tremendous skill level. The USC commit could be a one and done and enter the 2024 NBA Draft.

His younger brother Bryce is a high level prospect as well.

  • Has good court vision, feel for the game and elite level understanding/BBIQ
  • Strong build with good quickness and excellent leaping ability
  • Great bloodlines – and will have every opportunity in the world to make it.
  • Can shoot the three and make plays off the bounce – projects as a better shooter than his old man.
  • Has deep range.
  • Can already play above the rim and is almost certainly still growing and improving his athleticism. It’s scary to think how good he can become over the next decade plus.
  • Has broad shoulders and a lot of strength. Has a guards game and skill level but can take a lot of contact and hold his own against taller players. 
  • Is a standout defender who gives great effort and plays with high energy. Doesn’t take plays off.
  • Brings a ton of excitement to the arena and is a fan’s (and a marketers) dream.
  • Has to work on all areas of his game, just as all young players do.
  • Can he develop his lead guard skills?
