Right in the vicinity of where James was anticipated to be taken was Phoenix’s draft pick. LeBron James and his son might not have been able to play together if the Lakers had changed their minds. Nevertheless, the Suns passed on James in the latter stages of the second round when they had the opportunity to choose Oso Ighodaro of Marquette with the 40th overall pick.
“My best wishes are with (Bronny James),” Ishbia remarked. However, we feel fine. People are eager to visit this place. We want Phoenix to be a destination for the Suns, Mercury, players, and supporters. We want it to be a destination so that it feels amazing when people, whether they are rookies or free agents, want to play for us or be a part of our company.
That’s what we’re attempting to construct in Phoenix. We’re attempting something unique. So in my view, it’s always a good thing.
Bronny James has averaged five points, four rebounds, and 0.5 assists per game in 25.9 minutes throughout the Lakers’ two Summer League games; he hasn’t made a single 3-pointer either.
