My only issue is this. Bronny has no experience. LeBron has one or two seasons left. If Lebron cared about this kid, he would have Bronny play in the development league until he gets experience. If he is really good, he will get on an NBA roster. If he is not good now, Bronny will sit on the bench just like he did as USC, and his career will end. The ego factor of having your kid play on your team is fine, but it is far better for his kid to earn his place if he expects a professional career. Just my two cents worth.

I think you're right. The monumental amount of clout it took to make this happen is astounding. Bronny should have gone somewhere like Iowa State, Pepperdine, Wash St ... some school like that and played all game every game for 3 years. It's a win win. He does it 'right', tries hard, and if it doesn't work out, so be it. If it does, then he's Austin Rivers, Markelle Fultz, or Seth Curry.

Instead, what you said will probably happen. He'll sit on the bench, then his career will be over. What's he supposed to do after that? It's the NBA, there is no 'next'. To add insult to injury, it's looking like Bronny isn't an NBA caliber player at all. And the Knect pick is looking great. That guy is smooth and can shoot the hell out of the ball. Very smooth.
