It didn’t take long before those who claimed that Bronny James had no place in the NBA — at least just yet — were proven right.
Bronny has looked out of sorts and is simply not good enough out there, and it’s become painfully evident that he just isn’t ready.
With that in mind, sports analyst Craig Carton called out LeBron James for fulfilling his dream at his son’s expense.
In the latest edition of The Carton Show, he stated that Bronny has been exposed for who he is, which is a good athlete and great defender who’s simply not an NBA-caliber player.
This is the same player we saw in high school and in college, and the fact that Bronny took minutes and playing time away from more deserving prospects infuriated Craig Carton.
Through three games, Bronny has scored just 15 points.
Bronny James (2024 Summer League):
3 games, 15 points, 6-26 FG, 0-12 3-PT FG“He’s not an NBA player. He’s been exposed as a guy who isn’t an NBA player. You can’t justify LeBron’s son being on the LA Lakers.” — @craigcartonlive pic.twitter.com/MA3zVNvQ5b

He’s taken 26 shots and has sunk just six of them, going 0-for-12 from beyond the arc.
That can happen, but most of the shots he’s taken have been erratic, wild, and flat-out bad shots.
This is a make-or-miss league, and it doesn’t matter how good of a defender you are, you’re not going to see the floor unless you can provide some sort of offensive spark as well.
There’s nothing wrong with not being an NBA player; 99.9% of the world’s population isn’t.
The only issue here is that another player who could’ve actually earned a spot in the league didn’t get a chance to do so.
