Anton Watson on Bronny James' hype over other draftees: That definitely puts a chip on your shoulder
Anton Watson’s first name was mispronounced and he got only a brief mention from ESPN’s draft analysts before they quickly shifted their attention to the 55th overall pick, used by the Los Angeles Lakers on USC’s Bronny James, the oldest son of NBA star LeBron James. “I think the last 10 picks they were talking about Bronny,” Watson said. “You don’t try to focus on that, but that definitely puts a chip on your shoulder. That’s crazy, I think it’s a little bit crazy.”

The issue many had with the Lakers drafting Bronny James was using their first round pick (17) on him. They didn’t. They got a player projected to go sixth with that pick. They drafted Bronny 55th. He was ranked anywhere between 45-55 on many NBA draft big boards. No issue there. – 7:20 PM

I watched Bronny James once this season. This is what I saw.
In 20 minutes in USC’s 68-64 win over Utah, he had 7 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. His athleticism was elite. He made every hustle play. He turned the game in USC’s favor.
Is he an NBA player? No one knows yet. – 6:59 PM

Bronny brings such good connective feel as a passer, he’s an active defender, and a great teammate.
But at only 6-foot-2, it’s critical that he develops a reliable jumper.

Shoutout to Marcus Jordan, who was better than Bronny James, but didn’t come through in the Twitter era and did so after dad was long gone so mostly got left alone.

The Lakers are expected to draft Bronny James, if he’s available at No. 55 overall, per @ShamsCharania on @PatMcAfeeShow.
Bronny only worked out for two teams who select in consecutive spots of the late-second: Lakers and Suns. pic.twitter.com/GvF1IisODf – 1:02 PM

15 minutes before the start of the first round of the draft and ESPN is doing a Bronny James segment. Save it for tomorrow, focus on the guys that are actually going to get drafted tonight – 7:47 PM

More on this storyline
The Klutch Sports founder admits it’s a sweeter experience to have him join his four-time champion father in L.A. … but as for any additional pressure that could come with sporting the “James” name on his jersey, Paul thinks Bronny has the same amount to prove as the rest of the draft class. -via TMZ.com / June 29, 2024
“Just imagine Bronny [James] throws a lob to LeBron [James], LA is gonna go crazy… I’m a fan of Bronny I think he has NBA potential.” Paul George talks about what LeBron & Bronny on the court together could look like ?? -via x.com / June 29, 2024
Austin Rivers: “How about let’s just call it for what it is and let’s just accept it. We don’t have to talk about anybody else and throw other names out there. We don’t need to throw around the word nepotism, discredit all these other guys along the way just because you’re trying to make a point that it’s okay that they drafted Bronny. I don’t like that. They’re coaching this into a positive by making everyone else feel negative. Coach Malone is one of the best coaches in basketball. I played with Coach Adelman. Bro, he’s a basketball Brainiac.” -via YouTube / June 29, 2024
