Bronny James, the son of NBA superstar LeBron James, has decided to forgo his remaining college eligibility and stay in the 2024 NBA Draft. This was confirmed by his agent Rich Paul of Klutch Sports.
Bronny has seen his draft stock rise during the pre-draft process, with strong performances at the NBA Draft Combine and the Klutch Sports Pro Day. This has made him feel comfortable remaining in the draft.
While Bronny was originally viewed as a likely second-round pick, he has generated interest from several teams and is expected to visit a few, including the Lakers and Suns.
Rich Paul has stated that the focus is on finding the right developmental situation for Bronny, rather than just trying to get him to the Lakers to play with his father LeBron. However, the possibility of Bronny and LeBron playing together on the Lakers is still an intriguing storyline.
The 2024 NBA Draft class is not seen as having any sure-fire superstars, so Bronny’s decision and where he ultimately lands will be closely watched by many.
