If I get drafted it will be because of not only the player but also the person I am: Bronny James
The young sensation said that he wants to get picked in the NBA roster based on his performance and not because of the person he is or his father. He said, "Honestly, I feel like this is a serious business. I don’t think there would be thought of, ‘I’m just drafting this kid because I’m going to get his dad.’ I don’t think a GM would really allow that. I think I’ve put in the work and if I get drafted it will be because of not only the player but also the person I am."
