There has always been a lot of speculation about Bronny James and his future in the NBA.
Even before he became a freshman at USC, the son of LeBron James had the attention of fans, analysts, writers, and anyone who follows professional basketball.
With the NBA Draft just months away, the speculation around Bronny has skyrocketed, despite the fact that his first year with USC hasn’t been amazing.
Despite that, Skip Bayless believes that Bronny should throw his hat in the ring and try to enter the NBA.
“He’s the rare player who would be a better pro player than a college player,” Bayless said on the latest episode of “Undisputed.”

Bayless thinks that Bronny would just be spinning his wheels if he kept playing college basketball.
He said that the young star has a great mind, strong defensive skills, and is ready to take on the next challenge.
He believes that Bronny will only get better when he is playing with professionals in the league instead of trying to improve his game in college.
So far this season, Bronny has averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game.
Those are not numbers that come close to anything his father did toward the beginning of his career, which has generated some disappointment among fans who expected to see a player just like the elder James.
But Bronny is a young man and obviously has some skill, it just needs to be refined and tweaked.
Is the NBA the right place to do that?
If Bronny does submit his name for the 2024 draft, it’s very unlikely that he’d be a top-ten pick and he might not even make it into the first round.
But if he does earn entry into the league, it is guaranteed that many people will be paying close attention to him in order to see if he can be heir to the throne.
