Bronny has hype by virtue of being\u00a0LeBron James&#8217; son, with former LeBron teammate\u00a0Udonis Haslem backing Bronny to have a Jrue Holiday-esque impact\u00a0on the\u00a0Los Angeles Lakers\u00a0this season with his defensive intensity in the latest episode of Haslem&#8217;s &#8216;The OGs Show&#8217; Podcast.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s done a great job of just quieting the noise and focusing on the things he can control. When he speaks, he makes specific points that show he&#8217;s mature enough to understand his position.\u00a0When he speaks, he\u00a0talks about being a Jrue Holiday type of guy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These guys aren&#8217;t necessarily the top scorer on their team, but they&#8217;re guys you can&#8217;t win without. Your Swiss Army Knife guys&#8230; They can blow up a whole play, so if he can come in &amp; make an impact like that and he builds with that, I&#8217;m looking at him to do good things.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Many basketball players with this mindset haven&#8217;t made it to the NBA level, but Bronny will get something those other players likely won&#8217;t, which is opportunity. James is expected to play a role for the Lakers this season, at least to open the year.<\/p>\n<p>He isn&#8217;t coming off a good year with the USC Trojans, averaging 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists on 36.3% from the field and 26.7% from three. in his only college season.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\">\n<div class=\"m-in-content-ad not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\" data-zone-count=\"2\">\n<div class=\"not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d m-in-content-ad is-empty not-filled\">\n<div id=\"ad-in_content-8b566d7312354d13aa7d620a2e18f2d4\" data-google-query-id=\"CMGVtteL3YgDFdWH6QUd1Y86bw\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>His struggles there are one of the primary reasons behind his low Draft status, but that could help the Lakers if Bronny develops into a playable NBA asset. It&#8217;s rare for 55th picks to advance enough to have a multi-year career in the NBA, so Bronny is already pushing up against tough odds.<\/p>\n<p>Bronny doesn&#8217;t have the same frame as\u00a0Jrue Holiday, who has catered his style of play to be a defensive menace. Holiday was making All-Star teams in 2009 when he was allowed to be a primary offensive option, so we can&#8217;t necessarily project Bronny to come into the NBA with the same level of skill a rookie Holiday did.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, if Bronny commits to being an on-ball defender with average offense and the ability to stretch the floor, he&#8217;ll be a valuable player for almost any NBA organization.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"mm-horizontal-rule mm-horizontal-rule--hr1\" \/>\n<h2 id=\"bronny-expected-to-debut-on-opening-night\" class=\"is-aligned-center\">Bronny Expected To Debut On Opening Night<\/h2>\n<p>In what is a rarity for late second-round picks, Bronny is expected to play during the Los Angeles Lakers season opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves on October 22. This was confirmed by Zach Lowe in a conversation with Bill Simmons, as the veteran ESPN analyst went so far as to say\u00a0Bronny&#8217;s involvement is 100% guaranteed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s 100% playing in the game so they can have a moment together. That&#8217;s gonna happen. So they pass to each other or whatever it ends up being.&#8221;<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\">\n<div class=\"m-in-content-ad not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\" data-zone-count=\"2\">\n<div class=\"not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d m-in-content-ad is-empty not-filled\">\n<div id=\"ad-in_content-605efe4fb3c247fea6cf9e090e4e9c64\" data-google-query-id=\"CIWiotWN3YgDFUeI6QUdXVYSeQ\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>LeBron and Bronny will become the first father-son duo to play in the league at the same time as each other, let alone on the same franchise. Having the pair share the floor together would be a priceless NBA moment, although it might not translate into regular minutes for a development prospect like Bronny on a franchise that hopes to make a Playoff run.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Udonis Haslem backs Bronny James to replicate Jrue Holiday on the Los Angeles Lakers.
