James is a second round prospect who will need to impress in workouts ( ), but his very famous father making it known he wants to play with him adds further intrigue to his situation.
Bronny, for his part, has said that’s not a goal of his, and he just wants to end up on a team that wants him for his own merits as a player. Even though he’s not expected to go on Night 1 of the Draft, there is ample conversation about James in the lead up to the Draft, and Kendrick Perkins asked for ESPN and the rest of the media to pump the brakes when it comes to Bronny. Kendrick Perkins cooked here 🔥 Twitter should agree — Tyler Rucker (@Tyler_Rucker) “Let me say this, we have to stop.
