It looks like Bronny James won’t be making a Lakers debut just yet. Earlier this month, his dad, Los Angeles star LeBron James, said that playing together was “not a priority” after he had previously stated an interest in doing so.

Otherwise, once LeBron hangs it up, Bronny's charity spot on a roster will be gone, and Bronny's career prospects will look bleak. The alternative path would have been to stay in college for up to three more seasons and develop more organically, without all the criticism that is bound to come from his premature entry to the NBA.
