Paul George, a forward for the Los Angeles Clippers, has expressed his support for Bronny James, a draft possibility, emphasizing the player’s adaptability and NBA potential.
The 19-year-old, the oldest son of NBA legend LeBron James, was the subject of a thorough scouting report from George, who made the announcement on his podcast.
On Bronny James, Paul George says “He can do it all.”
James, who just finished his first year at USC, shot 36.6% from the floor and averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists in 25 games.
Despite these low stats, he had moments of brilliance, such as on December 30, when he recorded a season-high 15 points and three assists in a game. Despite these low stats, he had moments of brilliance, such as on December 30, when he recorded a season-high 15 points and three assists in a game.
James is seen as a second-round selection as the NBA Draft draws near. He pleased teams and scouts at the combine and in his workouts with the Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns. George conveyed his appreciation for James’s basketball acumen and versatility. George said,
“What’s most impressive is just his basketball savviness. He can do it all,”
“I feel like he hasn’t shown that he can really be elite at a lot of things, but I think he can be elite at a lot of things. I compare him to the Jrue Holidays, the Derrick Whites-guys that are glue guys that can go do everything on the floor and help you win. That’s kind of how I see him.”
In addition, Bronny has acknowledged Derrick White and Jrue Holiday as influences on his style of play because of their resilience, toughness, and defensive tenacity.
