On May 14, Beijing time, Brownie, James' eldest son, participated in the Chicago joint training. His official measurement data has been released, and his real height has shrunk significantly. According to the report of Mingji Wenhorst, although everyone expects the father and son to be on the same stage, the selection of Brownie by other teams does not mean that they will get James. James is still inclined to stay with the Lakers, and the Lakers will still try to promote father and son team.
Brownie's height has shrunk severely
Previously, Brownie's NCAA official height was 6 feet 4 inches (about 1 meter 93), but the height without shoes announced in the joint trial was 6 feet 1.5 inches (about 1 meter 87). The US media said that in the current NBA league, the 1.87 meter point guard is still a little short.
In addition, Brownie's arm span measured during the trial training was 2.01 meters, and his weight was 95 kilograms. The touch height of standing jump was 3.07 meters. The hand length was 21.6 cm, and the hand width was 24.1 cm. In terms of Brownie's height, his arm span data is very good.
In the 2023-24 season, Brownie's freshman season in NCU was flat, averaging 4.8 points and 2.1 assists, with a three-point shooting rate of only 26.7%. The American media Bleacher Report said frankly: "If he was not the son of legendary star LeBron James, he would not attract any media attention this year."
Wenhorst said that some scouts thought Brownie's performance this year was not ideal, but his actual ability may be better than what he showed. Nine months ago, Brownie underwent surgery due to cardiac arrest. Now he has passed the medical examination of joint trial training and is allowed to participate in NBA games.
Choosing him doesn't mean getting James
Shams said that Brownie is expected to stay in the NBA draft, and will not be returned to school for another year. Shams said: "It's really not a question of whether Brownie can be selected, but a question of where he can be selected."
James said in an interview at the end of the season that he has not thought much about playing with Brownie recently. "Young people will decide what they want to do and how they want their career to develop."
Wenhorst also said: "In the past few months, Rich Paul, the agent of James and Brownie, has been trying to break the idea that selecting Brownie means getting James. I believe James will choose to jump out of the contract... The choice of giving up playing with Brownie is also under consideration, but I think it is not the most important. I really think he (James) will return to the Lakers. "
Before, Brownie was popular with some teams because getting him seemed to mean getting James, but if Brownie could not attract James, Brownie's own attraction would naturally decline.
Some media showed a photo of James and his son with Trey Young in the eagle's jersey, joking that the eagle could get old Zhan if he signed Brownie with the No. 1 player. Obviously, this is an impossible scene.
The Lakers will still try to promote a father son team
It may be a strategy of James' team to play down the role of father and son, in order to avoid the interference of other teams, so that the Lakers can have the opportunity to select Brownie.
Wenhorst said: "I think if the Lakers have the opportunity to choose Brownie, they will do so. Whether it is the 55th draft signing, or they make another trade around the draft right, to get another draft right, I think they will try. I don't think this will become their primary task, and the league will not treat this issue as you can get James when you select Brownie. "
Reporters have reported that the Lakers are really interested in selecting Brownie, but they are not allowed to sign on the 17th of the second round. Brownie's latest odds show that the Lakers are still the most popular team to choose him, and are far ahead. The Knicks, Heat, Cavaliers, 76ers and Thunder are tied for second place.
