Metta defended Bronny when asked about the 19-year-old's impending decision to stay in school or enter the draft this week, saying, “He's still a freshman.”

“A lot of people were talking about his numbers, but can you name a freshman who never averaged more than 4 or 5 and then didn't have a chance to go pro? Freshman numbers are freshman numbers. is.”

Metta, who played college basketball at St. John's University in the late '90s, believes Bronny already has the makings to be a pro, especially his selfless play on the court…but he needs to grow up a bit. You just need to be more mature.

“I think he has the makings to be a really good point guard. A starting point guard,” the former NBA star said. “Maybe I’ll even be an All-Star!”

Of course, LeBron thinks so too…he even goes so far as to say that his son is better than some of the current NBA players he watches, calling it “lightweight is fun.”
