The 2024 NBA Draft class is seen as one of the weakest in recent yearswith the first overall selection Zaccharie Risacher for the Atlanta Hawks not causing so much expectation, along with other selections this year.
However, one of the biggest stories heading into this Draft isra the election of Bronny James, son of LeBron Jameswho until a year ago was seen as one of the most promising prospects at USC, but After his heart attack, he never recovered his level.
This was reflected in the choices of the teams, who passed up the option to select Bronny in the first round of the Draftand it is likely that he will leave without being chosen by any team.
It is an almost total consensus that it is expected that Bronny is chosen by the team where his father plays, the Los Angeles Lakerssuch as the 55th overall pick, with predictions from CBS Sports, Yahoo!, USA Today, Bleacher Report, and other outlets, predicting that the Jameses will play together.
Bronny James’s profile
Bronny is a 19-year-old point guard who is 1.87 meters tall, a player of small stature for what is expected in the NBA, and that is his main handicap, although he tries to compensate for it with a great defensive attitude, but that does not seem to be enough for a player who is not a great scorer either.
Bronny averaged just 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists while shooting 36.6 percent (26.7 percent on 3-pointers) for a poor USC team that failed to make the NCAA Tournament.
