Third Team Emerges In Bronny James NBA Draft Sweepstakes

Third Team Emerges In Bronny James NBA Draft Sweepstakes

Bronny James, son of Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James, recently announced his decision to keep his name in the 2024 NBA Draft instead of going back to school to work on his game for another year. 

Bronny’s draft stock has been rising ever since he participated in the NBA Combine, but it didn’t start high. At USC, Bronny only averaged 4.8 points on 36.6% shooting as the Trojans finished the season with a 15-18 record

Many teams have tried to bring Bronny in for a pre-draft workout, but he has declined all but two; the Lakers and the Phoenix Suns.

On Friday, according to Brett Siegel of Clutch Points, the Philadelphia 76ers have emerged as a third contender to draft James, likely in the second round.

In recent weeks, LeBron has been linked to the Sixers in the upcoming free agency. Rumors are swirling that Philadelphia will do anything to get LeBron on the 76ers next season. Naturally, anywhere LeBron goes, Bronny could follow.
