Since the teenage guard announced his intention to enter the 2024 NBA Draft, his next team has not been determined. Bronny James has again gained significant attention in the NBA community. The oldest son of LeBron James performed well in high school. He didn’t have the finest USC performance but made an impression at the Combine.
NBA insider Shams Charania provided an update on Bronny’s prospective future. He outlines what LeBron James may accomplish should his kid be selected by a team other than the Lakers.
“It would not surprise me in the coming weeks. If a team does reach out to Rich Paul or anyone who’s around Bronny James, or anyone who has any idea, or LeBron James himself and says, ‘Hey, if we draft Bronny James, would you come as well?’ And the answer to that is no, as of right now,” Charania told on Adams’ show.
According to Charania, the Lakers believe Bronny, a 19-year-old guard, is an excellent match and want to choose him. The team is searching for a new head coach. So, this is a crucial issue for the players and the team’s future.
