LeBron James’ son Bronny James is the biggest wild card of this month’s 2024 NBA Draft, and he’s been rising up draft boards for weeks as GMs have gotten the opportunity to see him in person.

Pedestrian stats with USC basketball last season have not obscured the fact that James has some of the best raw talent in his class and a work ethic to match.

While he’s raw as a prospect, James is not one to sleep on in terms of his value to NBA teams.

Recently, it was revealed in a video report from DraftExpress that Bronny has been essentially ‘untouchable’ in recent weeks, with expectations that he will be taken in the 40-58 pick range.

The news came during a time when the biggest trades in NBA Draft history were revealed. Several high profile NBA teams including the Atlanta Hawks have been rumored to be in hot pursuit of a defensive ace from the Connecticut Huskies.

James has been linked to two prominent NBA teams, including one that few fans would ever think to name.

The viral video has been viewed over 200,000 times with fans chomping at the bit to learn more information about where the younger James is expected to go in this year’s draft.

Fans React to Bronny James News
Fans reacted as colorfully as usual in the comments section on X, with some accusing the premium NBA Draft prospect James of exhibiting “diva” like behavior.

“How is bro already a diva at 19,” one fan said on X.

“He’s an elite prospect so he’s only going to an elite team,” another fan added.

James failed to score even five points per game for the USC basketball team last season, but his potential is tantalizing. Many fans have recognized James’ work ethic and perseverance in the face of hate and dismissive thought processes this offseason, with the goal of proving the NBA world wrong this coming fall and beyond.

“He’s a warrior,” one NBA Draft fan opined about the possible future Lakers draft pick.

“Probably a lock that he’s a Laker now with JJ Redick the coach, this is just a script to LeBron’s next movie I think,” another fan added.
