Exclusive: Miami Heat Drops Bombshell Draft News – Bronny James Given NBA Clearance
The son of LeBron James, Bronny James, has received the go-ahead to be selected in the NBA draft and is anticipated to be a hot topic of discussion.
Now, the only things to wonder are: who will choose him, and will LeBron end up on a different team as a result? After undergoing surgery to address a congenital heart defect nine months ago and experiencing a cardiac arrest, ESPN stated that USC’s James has been given the all-clear by the NBA’s Fitness to Play Panel. Additionally, it was stated that James would participate in the 5-on-5 scrimmages at the NBA Draft combine starting on Tuesday. This will allow NBA officials to get a closer look at the promising player.
The Miami Heat have scouted Bronny James, the son of LeBron James, according to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, who spoke with the Locked On Heat podcast in January.
Miami Heat general manager Adam Simon is one executive who has previously received extensive scrutiny. The Locked On Heat podcast was informed in January by ESPN’s Brian Windhorst that Simon had been observed making notes on Bronny James during USC’s season.
“I received a video from a man I know that showed Bronny James warming up with Adam Simon taking notes in the first row just behind him. According to Windhorst, “The Heat are out there doing it.”
Most people do not think of James as a first-round talent. In 25 games as a freshman at USC, he scored 4.8 points on 36.6% shooting on average. He has until May 29 to make up his mind about staying in the June draft.
One NBA scout told Yahoo Sports, “He’s a very smart player and has a solid feel for the game.” “The basic mechanics are there, but he needs more time to develop.”
LeBron James has stated in the public eye that he would like to play with his son before retiring from the NBA, which adds intrigue to James’ draft position.
Even though LeBron has since softened his remarks, it’s reasonable to ask if teams will select Bronny in an effort to lure LeBron, who is eligible to become a free agent this summer.
In the June draft, the Heat own the 15th and 43rd picks. If LeBron decides he wants to return to Miami, they still have the option to trade for him even though they don’t have the cap capacity to sign him as a free agent.
Is it worth giving up a high draft pick on Bronny in the hopes of landing LeBron, who is 39 years old? The same question is being posed to several fan bases.
