Lakers news:NBA Scouts Take Notice of Bronny James’ Vertical Leap and Shooting Skills….
However, James is still seen as a borderline NBA prospect, a situation that wouldn’t typically arise this summer. After averaging 4.8 points on 36.6 percent shooting, along with 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists, he initially dropped off most predraft boards. Nonetheless, he impressed scouts at the NBA Combine in Chicago last week with a 40.5-inch vertical leap and surprisingly good three-point shooting. Combined with his father’s potential free agency, these factors might secure him a spot in the second round, even if his stats alone suggest a G League contract would be more appropriate.
According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Bronny James has been invited to over 10 individual team workouts and will definitely attend sessions with at least two teams: the Phoenix Suns and his father’s team. Charania also noted that James does not plan to participate in every workout. The Lakers hold the 17th and 55th picks in this year’s draft and could potentially move up in the second round, while the Suns have the 22nd pick in the first round.
