The Los Angeles Lakers created history on Thursday by selecting guard Bronny James from USC with the No. 55 pick in the second round of the NBA Draft. Taking Bronny means Los Angeles will have its first father-son tandem on the team.
Bronny, the son of NBA legend LeBron James, has joined the Lakers. He used social media to respond to being drafted by Los Angeles.
This is a dream come true for Bronny, who now has the opportunity to make his mark with the Lakers. Los Angeles will have to be patient with him in the future since his game needs to develop before he can play on the floor.
If the Lakers give him time to improve his game, he could develop into a valuable role player for them. Los Angeles will aim to add more quality to the club, but Bronny will not be relied on extensively right now.
This is a great moment for the Lakers and the entire James family. This is a unique moment that may never be seen again.
