The eldest son of Lakers All-Star LeBron James has made a determination on his NBA/NCAA future.
Former USC Trojans combo guard Bronny James, eldest son of 20-time Los Angeles Lakers All-Star forward LeBron James, will officially stay in the 2024 NBA Draft and surrender the rest of his NCAA eligibility, his Klutch Sports agent Rich Paul informs"Bronny's range is wide," Paul said. "He's a really good prospect who has a lot of room for growth. It only takes one team. I don't care where that team is -- it can be No.
. There are 58 picks across two rounds in this year's draft . As Woj mentions, each team does possess three two-way contracts, which can be used on second round picks and, more often, undrafted selections. The 6-foot-4 former Cardinal and Gold guard was saddled with a bit of a "season from hell" situation. Following an offseason cardiac arrest last July, he missed the first month of the year . James never found his shooting form, and wasn't the all-world defender a lot of us were expecting him to be in his debut NCAA season. In 25 healthy games, he averaged 4.8 points on .366/.267/.676 shooting splits, 2.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 0.8 steals a night.
LeBron James has long said he'd like to play alongside his son. Although recently he's backed off that chatter a bit, it remains possibly Bronny could be selected early in the second round by a team hoping to lure James, who has a $51.4 million player option for 2024-25, away from the Lakers. Los Angeles has the Nos. 17 and 55 picks in this year's draft.
