Bronny James compares himself to Jrue Holiday, Derrick White at NBA Combine

Bronny James took a more simple method when inquired about who he designs his video game around.

The USC item drifted far from the apparent contrast, rather comparing his play and stating he wants to affect winning in the exact same design as guys like Jrue Holiday, Derrick White or Davion Mitchell, according to ESPN’s Jamal Collier.

With a name as well-renowned as his, it’ll eventually be difficult to guide far from contrasts with LeBron James. However, the guard doesn’t always see himself following in his dad’s steps.

Standing at 6-foot-4, 210lbs, he wasn’t the exact same level possibility entering the league that his dad was. The senior James determined at 6-foot-7, 245lbs at his integrate in 2003.

So instead of trying to copy his dad’s video game and play in the shadow of a basketball legend predestined for all-time discussions, he wants to simulate a few of the grittier, protective guards in the league. A practical option for a gamer whose offending bundle has actually never ever been the main emphasize of his play.

On Monday, he did reveal a few of his athletic presents as he determined with a 6-foot-7.25 wingspan and logged a 40.5-inch max vertical, the fourth-highest in his class. As for the gamers he compared himself to, White had a 36.5-inch vertical and Holiday struck 34.0 inches. Mitchell did not get involved.

So physically, James has a great chance of measuring up to comparable marks as the gamers he looks towards for motivation.

James’ shooting likewise stood apart in drills, as the guard nailed 19-of-25 of his 3-pointers in the star shooting drill which was second-best at the prospect showcase.

However, he had a hard time in the very first skirmish of the day, shooting 2-for-8 from the field and 0-for-4 for 4 points while likewise notching 4 rebounds and 2 takes in 19 minutes.

His one year at USC wasn’t precisely a fantastic display of his abilities either, as he balanced 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.1 helps and 0.8 takes in 19.3 minutes per video game. However, he entered the season late after suffering a heart attack before the year began and just dressed for 25 video games with the Trojans.

“It was a tough time, for sure,” he stated on Tuesday. “All this work that I put in, it just really built me into someone that would never give up. It paid off because I put in the work after that situation, and I’m back to where I want to be.”

He was likewise asked on Tuesday about possibly playing together with his dad and what it would suggest to him however stated that it isn’t his top priority.

“When I get there, I don’t think it would be just like me and my dad,” James stated. “I would be happy about getting to the league instead of me thinking about playing with my dad. That’s not my mindset right now at all. I’m just trying to put in the work and see where it takes me from there.”

LeBron James has actually stated in the past that it’s his dream to play together with his child and wants to do so before he ultimately retires from the league. He drifted far from that at the end of the Lakers’ season, stating that it’s not the end-all, be-all.

Bronny restated that belief on Tuesday.

“My dream has always just been to put my name out, make a name for myself and, of course, get to the NBA,” he stated. “I never thought about playing with my dad. But of course, he’s brought it up a couple times.”
