Bronny James is even more in the crosshairs after Jaylen Brown was caught on tape saying he’s not fit for the NBA and is only there because his dad is LeBron James.
JJ Redick, who LeBron hand-picked to coach him and his son on the Lakers, explained how he sees Bronny’s early NBA career going.

“He’s a development player.  He will certainly spend time with the Lakers he will also spend time as well in the G-League.  As we build out are player development program, he’s going to be a part of that.  What I’ve communicated to him, right now, what we are looking for is defensive ball pressure.  I told him this yesterday.  I don’t care if you get ten fouls.  I don’t care if you get blown by.  What I do care about is of you are on the ball or if you are three feet off the ball.  You have to be a guy who’s a ball hawk at all times.  We are going to develop his shot, we are going to develop his ball skills. He’s already got a great feel for the game.  He already has a really good instinctive nature on the defensive end,” Reddick explained.
Reddick went on to say that he admires how Lu Dort of the Oklahoma City Thunder plays, and he thinks Bronny will develop into that type of player.
Agree?
