Former NBA player's controversial opinion on Bronny James' participation in the NBA draft

This was revealed today by Shams Charania of The Athletic that Bronny James expects to remain in the 2024 NBA Draft. Bronny has been fully cleared by the NBA and will participate in all pre-draft activities this week and attend the Draft Combine.

While Bronny's decision may have the support of his father, it is controversial in the eyes of current and former NBA players.

Former Grizzlies forward Chandler Parsons spoke on FanDuel's Run It Back show about Bronny's decision to enter the draft and disagreed with the idea.

“He didn't have the best college career, but he has the intangibles, he has the athleticism, he has the defensive potential to be a solid player, he just hasn't shown it to us,” Parsons said. “Bronny James hasn’t even come close to reaching his potential. But other than that, he hasn’t done enough to get on an NBA team without being Bronny James.”

In Bronny's first season at USC, he averaged just 4.6 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists on 37.27.68 shooting from the field. If he were another player not named Bronny James, he would probably still stay in college to continue his development. While Chandler Parsons' words could be seen as controversial by some, he really has a point in this situation regarding the young star.
