The biggest highlight of the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft was successfully achieved, other teams did not "cut off" Bronny, and the Lakers used the No. 55 pick to select Bronny as they wished, thus promoting Bronny to be on the same team with his father James, creating the first father-son team competition in NBA history, which is naturally worthy of being recorded in the history of the NBA.

The Lakers selected Bronny with the No. 55 pick, and the Zhan Huang father and son appeared for the first time in NBA history

In the past 70 years of NBA history, there has never been a father and son on the same team, as the NBA's "longest history", James will turn 40 years old at the end of the year, and next season will also start the 22nd season of his career, he successfully contributed to the first pair of fathers and sons to compete on the same team in history.

The Lakers, who only have the No. 55 pick in the second round this year, successfully selected Bronny to play with his father with the Lakers, becoming the first father and son to play together in NBA history, and they are expected to play next season.

Former Warriors general manager broke the news that Rich Paul warned other teams not to pick Bronny

According to former Warriors general manager Bob Myers, James' agent, Rich Paul, has warned teams not to draft Bronny and threatened that if Bronny is drafted, Bronny will play in the Australian NBL next season instead of landing in the NBA.

You must know that many teams have expressed their desire to cut off Bronny, hoping to "recruit" James in disguise, especially the 76ers and Mavericks and other teams. However, James said that Bronny's draft situation will not affect his decision this summer, so it is also to cut off other teams' attempts to "bring the prince to James".

Bronny's strengths: excellent body, good defensive awareness, mature and stable mentality

As the eldest son of James, Bronny inherited some of his father's athletic talents, and he has good athleticism, especially excellent running and jumping talent and strong body, which is quite impactful in offensive and defensive transitions.

Especially on the defensive end, Bronny can maintain a fair amount of firepower, he is good at starting defensively, and he can use his reach and body to advantage and constantly interfere with the ball carrier.

Bronny has been the son of James since he was a child, and he was given the title of "prince", which also made him grow up under pressure. Bronny has a mature mindset and is also a selfless player who is expected to be developed into a defensive player similar to Payton Jr., so his template is the Warriors' defensive titan Payton Jr.

Bronny's shortcomings: poor offensive projection, lack of ball-handling ability, and a history of heart disease

Bronny's height is only 1.88 meters, height is a disadvantage, and Bronny played 25 games in the college arena, averaging only 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 19.3 minutes per game, shooting only 36.6%, three-point shooting rate is as low as 26.7%, free throw shooting rate is 67.6%, poor shooting ability is a fatal shortcoming.

On top of that, Bronny lacks the ability to handle the ball, can't play the role of the team's main point of hand, and lacks individual offensive skills.

Bronny also has a history of heart disease, which is also a major concern for his future career.

James' escort into the NBA, what heights he can reach in the future is unknown

As many public opinion believes, without the aura of his father James, Bronny would basically be a draft loss. However, it is precisely because of the identity of James's son that Bronny is now selected by the Lakers with the 55th pick, and it is also the first pair of fathers and sons in history to be on the same team, which will help James renew his contract with the Lakers next, and Bronny is still unknown to what height his future NBA career can reach under the protection of James.
