End of second round, undrafted… Or maybe even higher than imagined? It is difficult to project oneself into the destiny of Bronny James in the Draft, but Rick Carlisle is one of those who thinks that the former USC could create a surprise.
“ I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that it will go much higher than that. I'm not going to say who (will select it), I don't want to get fined. I received enough fines this year during the playoffs “, cautiously blurts out the Pacers coach on the Green Light podcast with Chris Long.
Would this one, who was fined $35,000 for his refereeing criticisms in the series against the Knicks, have an indiscretion regarding the intentions of a franchise? Or is he simply referring to the positioning of the Pacers?
The Indiana franchise has three choices in the second round, the 36th, 49th and 50th, while Bronny James was mentioned for the 55th choice held by the Lakers. Since then, he has disappeared from ESPN’s “mock draft”…
“ It's unique. Bronny is a good player. I think they're trying to put him in the best situation possible. We will see. Time will tell us “, recently dropped Ryan Carra vice president with the Pacers.
The young man, however, did not perform in front of them, his agent Rich Paul ensuring that he only tested with the Lakers and the Suns. Adding that the Wolves, Raptors and Mavericks have also shown interest. The Pacers too?
