The son of four-time NBA champion and twenty-time NBA All-Star, superstar LeBron James, Bronny gave an impressive performance at the NBA draft combine.
However, Carolina Panthers Super Bowl winning punter Johnny Hekker shared his thoughts regarding his performance and, in a tweet, mentioned, “Bro’s catch and release is 2-3 business days.”

Not deserving of a draft pick any more than MJ's boys were.

This statement alone shows you truly dunno basketball, it's more than his catch & release, it's not about speed, it's a conditioning drill with constant movement around the perimeter to test his breathing and how fast he'll fatigue in his legs while getting to the spots watching…

It’s the combine why wouldn’t he take his time to make sure he lines his shot up?
