The potential Bronny James-LeBron James pairing is one step closer to becoming a reality.<\/p>\n
The 19-year-old Bronny is staying in the 2024 NBA Draft instead of returning to college, finalizing his decision before Wednesday\u2019s 11:59 p.m. ET deadline, his agent Rich Paul told ESPN.<\/p>\n
All eyes are now on whether Bronny and his father will land on the same team.<\/p>\n
\u201cBronny\u2019s [draft] range is wide,\u201d Paul recently told ESPN. \u201cHe\u2019s a really good prospect who has a lot of room for growth. It only takes one team. I don\u2019t care where that team is \u2014 it can be No. 1 or 58 \u2014 [but] I do care about the plan, the development. The team\u2019s strategy, the opportunity and the financial commitment. That\u2019s why I\u2019m not doing a two-way deal. Every team understands that.\u201d<\/p>\n
It had been a foregone conclusion that Bronny would stay in the NBA Draft after declaring earlier this year, even if he had underwhelming collegiate numbers.<\/p>\n
Bronny averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists while shooting 36.6 percent, including 26.7 percent from deep, for a terrible USC team that finished 15-18 this past season.<\/p>\n
Teams may be more willing to draft Bronny \u2014 who earned solid reviews from the NBA Combine \u2014 due to the possibility of it luring his father, the league\u2019s all-time leading scorer. <\/p>\n
LeBron has a $51.4 million player option with the Lakers for the 2024-25 season and has said he would like to play with his son before he retires.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Lakers need to look at Bronny like everyone else,\u201d Paul, the CEO of Klutch Sports, told ESPN. \u201cIf they value him enough and he\u2019s there, that\u2019s great. If it\u2019s not the Lakers, that\u2019s great. I won\u2019t be mad if it\u2019s not. It\u2019s obvious that people hear the conversation around the dad and son playing together, but that\u2019s not our focus. If it happens organically, great. I\u2019m not building on that.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not putting unrealistic expectations on Bronny. He\u2019s far from a finished product. But he has a hell of start. He\u2019s positioned well. \u2026 I don\u2019t see him not getting drafted, but if it got to a point where the situations didn\u2019t make sense and we needed to go undrafted, that\u2019s fine.\u201d<\/p>\n
Plenty of reports have projected him to be selected by the Lakers with the 55th pick, although some bettors have flocked markets to bet on Bronny going No. 1 overall.<\/p>\n
It appears Bronny is hoping to head to either Hollywood or the desert, as The Athletic reported that the Lakers and the Suns are on the short list of teams he\u2019s willing to work out for before the draft, which begins on June 26.<\/p>\n
Phoenix holds the No. 22 pick.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re still figuring it out,\u201d Paul told ESPN. \u201cMany teams have called. It\u2019s a matter of hashing out workouts and figuring out who is real and who is not. There are only two or three teams that might take him. That\u2019s how I am going to approach that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Paul has already told teams that Bronny \u201cabsolutely\u201d will not sign a two-way contract, meaning he\u2019ll be holding out for a guaranteed contract.<\/p>\n
Bronny was medically cleared by the NBA\u2019s Fitness to Play Panel earlier this year following the former top-50 prospect suffering cardiac arrest during a workout at USC last summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
