Bronny James’ NBA Career Gets Very Disappointing Update That Fans Won’t Like After Getting Drafted By His Dad’s Los Angeles Lakers

Bronny James’ rookie year might not go the way most expect it to.
The Los Angeles Lakers drafted the 19-year-old as the 55th overall pick last month and have since signed him to a curious four-year contract worth $7.9 million, with three years guaranteed.
There’s been some outrage online because Bronny is a second-round pick who’s gotten a one-way deal, but he might not actually be with the Lakers next season—well, at least not these Lakers.
Bronny James Could End Up In The G League
According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the former USC guard might spend his rookie year with the South Bay Lakers in the G League, although he is likely to take to the court with his father for the first week of the campaign just for show.
“Well, what the Lakers’ expectations are is that he’ll largely be a G League player like almost any 19-year-old player coming into the league drafted in the second round,” Woj explained during an appearance on ESPN. “I think what you’ll ultimately probably see is Bronny James in the first week of the season on the court with his father, in a very…I don’t want to call it ceremonial but the eyes of the world will be on that.
“They’ll do that the first week of the season, but there’s no expectation Bronny James is going to be in the Lakers’ rotation. He’ll spend a lot of his time playing with their G League team which shares a practice facility with the Lakers.”

During a recent episode of the “Skip Bayless Show,” popular sports columnist Skip Bayless made bold statements about the father-son duo of LeBron and Bronny James from the Los Angeles Lakers. Bayless suggested that Bronny might possess a more significant clutch gene than LeBron, particularly when it comes to making three-pointers. He highlighted Bronny’s performance in a McDonald’s All-American Game, where Bronny hit several impressive three-pointers in crucial moments.
“I think Bronny will be pretty good. I think he’ll become a clutch three-point shooter. I’ve always gotten the feeling that Bronny had a bigger clutch gene than his father does. McDonald’s game. He was in the spotlight, and they went to him late two or three times, and he just nailed threes.” Bayless said.
After much speculation, the Lakers finally selected Bronny as the 55th overall pick in the second round of the 2024 NBA draft. However, the spotlight on Bronny didn’t stop there, as NBA analysts and fans continued to talk about him, with some praising and others criticizing. Most recently, Bronny faced heavy criticism from NBA fans following his selection by the Lakers, with fans accusing him of nepotism and suggesting that he was only picked because of his father.
