Due to his cardiac arrest, he suffered last summer had a role, given that he was a McDonald's All-American in his final year of high school.Despite scoring 13 points in a scrimmage at the NBA Scouting Combine earlier this week, one demonstration has not convinced many.

As per Fox News one of the scouts stated, "If Los Angeles Lakers do not draft him, I don't see anyone drafting him." Teams will want him on a two-way contract, which I do not believe [James' agency] Klutch will desire."

Bronny James has gotten plenty of criticism

Meanwhile, the second scout sounded rude towards him, "A positional athlete. Does not work as a top athlete. Tweener is trapped between two places. Given his stature, he should be a point guard, but he is incapable of running an offence. He struggles as an undersized shooting guard due to his inability to shoot.

James played 25 games in his rookie season, averaging 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game. Bronny measured 6 feet; and 1.5 inches tall at the NBA Scouting Combine. He was classified as 6 feet, 4 inches at USC.

Bronny James has gotten plenty of criticism since declaring for the NBA Draft, but the most recent feedback from the scouts Spears spoke with may be the toughest he has received.
