Bronny James shocked the world last week when he decided to declare for the NBA Draft. Overall, his decision was one that surprised a whole lot of people. After all, he only averaged 4.8 points per game in his first season at USC, which is not exactly NBA material. However, a lot of this had to do with his cardiac arrest he suffered prior to the start of the season. He needed to play catch up and it is clear his confidence wasn’t there. Regardless, the odds do not seem particularly stacked in favor of him being drafted.
For instance, an anonymous executive recently came out and said that Bronny has no chance of getting drafted. He said that Bronny was not an NBA caliber prospect and that there were three rounds of players who could be taken above him. These were pretty harsh words, although not everyone seems to agree. In a new report from Bleacher Report, Jonathan Wasserman gave his view of Bronny and what he thinks the kid could potentially accomplish.

Wasserman believes that Bronny could actually become a solid three and D player in the league. In fact, Bronny was compared specifically to Quentin Grimes.
