With just two days to go in the 2024 NBA Draft, the excitement surrounding the event has reached an all-time high. While reports are coming out regarding who will be drafted where, a majority of them surround Bronny James. However, according to his agent, Rich Paul, that doesn’t concern James Jr.
During the latest episode of the Gil Arenas show, Paul joined the former Magic guard for a candid discussion. Among the many things discussed, the topic of Bronny’s draft inevitably came up. Paul revealed that he had asked Bronny about his target before going into the draft and discussing it with interested parties.
According to Paul Bronny, the answer showed nothing but maturity in the 19-year-old. “‘I just want to hear my name called,’ he didn’t say I wanna go No.1,” revealed Paul.
After an impressive showing at the Draft Combine, interest in Bronny picked up. After working out with only the Lakers and the Suns, Bronny is expected to be drafted by the Lakers at no.55, according to league sources.
But which team will be the most beneficial for his development? Host Gilbert Arenas had the answer to that.

According to Gilbert Arenas, Minnesota will be the place for Bronny. “Wolves, yes. Because he can do what Connely does. In terms of play D, get the ball to Ant-Man, hit an open shot.
