In the early morning of June 28, the second round of the NBA Draft was held. The Los Angeles Lakers drafted Bronny James with the 55th pick, and James got his wish and could make his NBA debut with his son next season. This moment is not only the realization of the James family's long-term expectations, but also marks the official opening of a good story in the basketball world. However, at the same time, another highly anticipated young player, Choi Yong-hee, unfortunately failed to make the cut!
Everyone knows that James has always been a legend in the NBA, when he entered the NBA as the champion, he is one of the greatest players in NBA history, and now James is approaching the end of his NBA players, in order to achieve his and his son's desire to play on the same stage. This year, he let his son participate in the NBA draft, and his son Bronny James lived up to expectations and was selected by the Lakers with the 55th pick. Undoubtedly the biggest reward for James!
Brownie in brief
On December 11, 2023, in the NCAA regular season, Bronny James made his NCAA career debut. It didn't take long for Bronny to be selected by the Lakers with the 55th pick in the second round of the NBA Draft on June 28, 2024 local time. Bronny is very talented in basketball, not only can he score but he also has a certain talent defensively. According to statistics, when he was a senior at Sierra Canyon High School in California, he averaged 14.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.8 steals per game. And Bronny did well in the joint tryout, showing some long-range shooting ability. In addition, he has a run-up jump height of 40.5 inches.
Although he was able to enter the NBA with the 55th pick, some people say that it is the cause of the accident, after all, his father James is a legendary star in the NBA, and he is blessed by his father.
I hope that after Bronny James enters the NBA, he can play the domineering of his father James and surprise the Lakers, and it is best that the father and son can bring another championship trophy to the Lakers! Wishing Bronny James a great season, come on!!
However, in stark contrast to him, another highly anticipated young player, Choi Yong-hee, was unfortunately not selected.
Choi Yong-hee briefly introduced
Cui Yongxi, China's most promising small forward, also participated in the NBA draft, but was undrafted. Cui Yongxi, a small forward, played for the CBA Guangzhou men's basketball team last season, making 50 appearances, averaging 15.7 points, 6 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.7 steals per game. Judging by his scoring stats, there is no doubt about his ability. But that's just in the CBA in China.
To tell the truth, Cui Yongxi played fairly well in China, but he did not reach the point of becoming the king, and the chance of entering the NBA is very slim! However, he is still young, he just feels good about himself, in fact, everyone can see that the gap with the NBA is still very huge. It is estimated that after this defeat, the NBA will basically be out of action in the future. It can only be said that fighting for your dreams deserves respect! Enjoy the process and improve yourself. Praise for your hard work! Come on Choi Yong-hee!
I hope that children will play well in the CBA, have a good experience of themselves, and strive to be able to play famous in the CBA, and the small forward positions can be kings, only in this way can they have the capital to go to the NBA to participate in the draft, to be honest, there is still a long way to go to enter the NBA, only down-to-earth, pragmatic efforts can get closer and closer to their goals, what do you think?
