Draymond Green: “Bronny is going to end up being a better pro than a lot of these players in this draft because he has the athleticism, the basketball IQ, plays the game the right way. I think he’s going to be a good shooter in the NBA, and I think a lot of people judge Bronny off of his production last year at USC, which is a little skewed because for anybody coming back in the middle of a season and trying to play when everybody’s in tip-top shape is hard to do that as a newcomer, as a freshman, as a rookie, miss training camp, miss some of the season, and you come in, it’s nearly impossible.” Source: YouTube

Chris Mannix @SIChrisMannix
I can’t believe the Lakers drafted Bronny James and blew its chance to draft Isaiah Wong, Gui Santos, Kyle Guy or any of the other stars taken at No. 55 in recent years. Believe me — there have been less upside picks than Bronny. – 7:47 PM
Arash Markazi @ArashMarkazi
The issue many had with the Lakers drafting Bronny James was using their first round pick (17) on him. They didn’t. They got a player projected to go sixth with that pick. They drafted Bronny 55th. He was ranked anywhere between 45-55 on many NBA draft big boards. No issue there. – 7:20 PM
Steve Luhm @sluhm
I watched Bronny James once this season. This is what I saw.
In 20 minutes in USC’s 68-64 win over Utah, he had 7 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. His athleticism was elite. He made every hustle play. He turned the game in USC’s favor.
Is he an NBA player? No one knows yet. – 6:59 PM

Rob Pelinka on how the Lakers will handle the additional media attention with LeBron James and Bronny James Jr. potentially playing together: “The biggest moment in sports happened with the Lakers. And that’s how we’re built. And we’re excited to see this story unfold.” – 6:56 PM
Jorge Sierra @hoopshype
“Guys like Davion Mitchell, Jrue Holiday, and Derrick White who excel in their role, get good money and get good playing time from it because they’re locked into that role and know what they’re supposed to do.”

NBA exec to @Sportskeeda about Bronny James: “He’s a good enough shooter, but he’s not a great shooter. He’ll be a decent enough defender, but he’s not a lockdown defender. He’s not a great athlete; he’s a good athlete. So what is he hanging his hat on?” bit.ly/3XypSYm – 6:23 PM

Kevin O’Connor @KevinOConnorNBA
It’s official: Bronny James to the Lakers at 55.
Bronny brings such good connective feel as a passer, he’s an active defender, and a great teammate.
But at only 6-foot-2, it’s critical that he develops a reliable jumper.
Bronny shot only 19.6% on catch-and-shoot 3s at USC. pic.twitter.com/6IDPe0aR7B – 6:07 PM

Draymond Green: “Don’t tell me France is taking over the NBA because they had so many players drafted this year or that international, overseas, however you want to categorize it, don’t tell me that they’re taking over the NBA and they’re far more superior in the NBA because they had a lot of players drafted in what even before the draft started was kind of dubbed as the worst draft of the last 15 years. You cannot then say, ‘Oh, because that draft was dominated by European players or French players, that they’re now superior to and they’re taking over the NBA.’ That actually just doesn’t make sense to me.” -via YouTube / June 28, 2024
Magic Johnson: Congratulations to Bronny James on being drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers!
