Bronny was a poor player on a terrible team that went 8-12 in the Pac 12 and 15-18 overall. He averaged under 5 points, under 3 rebounds, and just over 2 assists in 19 minutes per game.

If I were Lebron's teammates, I'd be pissed.

I'd be more pissed when they give him a roster spot. Not sure JJ Reddick is going to be on board with that if it happens.

As a life-long Laker fan, I'm not happy with the Lakers drafting Bronny James.

I agree, he did not light it up on the court. Take away the James name, and we could all agree, he wouldn't have been drafted, and we wouldn't be having this conversation.

He had a sudden cardiac arrest and was born with an unspecified structural heart abnormality that put him at a higher-than-average risk of cardiac arrest. Another reason for concern.

If LeBron had much to do with Bronny being drafted by the Lakers, as a father, he did his son no favors. He did no favors for the Lakers either.

Just another situation that will cause problems for the Lakers.

Not sure if it matters if Reddick is on board with a roster spot or not, if James wants him on the team thinking that`s final. Now if James pushes the matter even further, I E actual playing time, then you might hear a LITTLE push back from Reddick and possibly some players. My 2 cents

I think it's pretty set in stone that he will make the team and see minutes, at least initially. There would be no other reason to draft him. If they were only looking to pacify Lebron with giving him a shot to make the team, they could have signed him as a free agent and invited him to camp.

Jeanie must be under LeBron's spell or something. This cannot be a good basketball move, even if it was the only way LeBron was going to stay put.

The youngster's resemblance to his dad is really striking.
