Bronisław Wawrzyńczuk sports international esteem in the basketball world. Most recently, he worked as a sports consultant for the leading Polish club Anwil Włocławek.

"When I got the call from the LA Lakers, I was very surprised - but also aware of what it was about, because I knew there was a vacancy in scouting there and I was going to apply myself. After their call, I felt that I might have a good chance" - the first Wrocław native in the NBA told his hometown's wroclaw.pl website.

In the past - Wawrzyńczuk founded the Eurospects portal, analyzing young basketball talents. Later he worked, among others, in German Ratiopharm Ulm, Turkish Fenerbahce Istanbul and Ukrainian BC Prometey.

The Polish scout signed by the Lakers also previously cooperated with the Polish Basketball Association - finding young players with Polish roots raised abroad and monitoring the progress of young Polish players playing in foreign clubs.

"I won't hide it - from the beginning of my career, the NBA was my dream. When the opportunity to take a position with the Los Angeles Lakers came up, I couldn't refuse. For seven years I worked very hard to achieve it - which cost me a lot of sacrifice. I would like to encourage everyone here to believe in themselves all the way, because it's really worth it!" - Bronisław Wawrzyńczuk told the kkwloclawek.pl portal, commenting on his new role in the NBA.
