Should the San Antonio Spurs draft Bronny James?

The upside is there, and if it brings LeBron, it’s a no-brainer

Should the San Antonio Spurs draft Bronny James? According to at least one NBA analyst, even without the potential fringe benefit of getting Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James as part of the bargain, still has the potential selection of the younger James at least worthy of consideration.

“As (the Spurs) continue building the roster around the presumptive Rookie of the Year (Victor Wembanyama), point guard is likely to be near the top of (San Antonio’s) offseason wish list,” writes Bleacher Report’s Joseph Zucker. “Tre Jones isn’t the answer, at least within a starting context, and he might be gone in the near future because he only signed a two-year deal.”

(The Spurs) could opt for a veteran addition as a stopgap to accelerate both Wembanyama’s development and its timeline to becoming a contender,” suggests the B/R analyst.

“In that scenario, James would be positioned as the long-term successor at the point who would ideally slot right into the starting role after two or three years,” he adds.

And while, for Zucker, adding LeBron is not part of his calculus, for a team that is trying to put some winning players around Wemby, such a potential bonus to picking up the USC wing is certainly worth considering.
