Scouts and executives see Bronny James as a viable NBA player and confirm he could be leverage to force the Lakers into a trade to unite him with his father.
The wall of cameras and reporters focused on Bronny James against the blue back drop, the diamond stud in his right ear reflecting the lights as he answered different versions of the same question at the NBA scouting combine. “To be honest,” he said with a soft smile, “It's a lot.” No one flat-out asked — it would’ve been too rude, too direct — “Bronny, aren’t you just here because of your dad?” It’s the question that has followed him wherever he has gone.
Most disappointingly to some scouts, he didn’t look as if he played with a lot of effort. “He’s too timid,” one scout familiar with Bronny for years said before the combine. After Tuesday, that scout looked to be a prophet. Still, the expectation in Chicago was that Bronny would eventually declare for the draft and forgo his remaining college eligibility. Playing in one final team setting Wednesday, he showed why. Bronny attacked closeouts, he played decisively and competed on the defensive end.
