Does Draymond Green have a valid point in his take on the Bronny James debate?
The debate surrounding Bronny James and his potential NBA Draft this summer has ignited intense discussions, dividing opinions across the board. Some critics argue that Bronny isn’t ready for the NBA and may never be, attributing the hype to his father, LeBron James, pushing for his draft.
On the other hand, supporters point to Bronny’s technical skills and the potential they see in him. Among the supporters is Draymond Green, who some might consider biased due to his business partnership with LeBron. However, Green’s recent comments on his podcast, The Draymond Green Show, have sparked interest and are worth examining.
DRAYMOND’S TAKE ON HIS PODCAST
“I think he has more than enough attributes and tools to make him a good backup point guard, at least,” Green stated. “Backup point guards need to pick up full-court, and he’s going to be able to do that with the best of them. They need to knock down shots, and we know he can. They need to be smart and avoid mistakes, and people complain that he plays too mistake-free. At worst, he’s probably going to be capable, and it doesn’t have to be next year.“
Green continued, addressing the double standards: “By the way, y’all draft kids in the top ten who aren’t ready to play next year, then want to talk about Bronny, who isn’t in anybody’s top ten, saying ‘he isn’t ready to play next year.’ But what attributes do they have that we can look forward to building? And Bronny has some of those.”
Draymond’s perspective offers a thoughtful take on Bronny’s potential, highlighting the skills and attributes that could make him a valuable asset to an NBA team. Whether or not he’s ready next year, the debate around Bronny James continues to captivate fans and analysts alike.
