The oldest son of LeBron James is anticipated to be selected in the middle of the first round. He will play NCAA basketball for the USC Trojans in 2023–2024. According to ESPN’s forecast and ClutchPoints’ most recent 2024 mock draft, Bronny might pick between 15 and 17.
ESPN, meanwhile, offered a more detailed projection, emphasizing that LeBron Jr. would finish with the Atlanta Hawks at No. 17. The article did point out that nothing is certain in what it views as a weak draft class. Having said that, as the season goes on, there may be several shifts in the standings.
NBA teams still have a lot to learn about this bunch, particularly at the top, where scouts perceive a completely unrestricted opportunity. According to Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo, “this class of high school seniors graduating is thought to be among the weakest we’ve seen in years, with no clear top prospects—leaving a lot of uncertainty regarding the landscape of the 2024 lottery.”
Nevertheless, Bronny’s rise in the rankings is undoubtedly promising for LeBron James and the James family. Not too long ago, many considered 18-year-old Bronny to be a second-round talent when he dropped to number 60 in the country’s rankings. He is currently in the middle of the first round and may even advance.
It’s easy to picture him turning into a lottery choice given how much better he’s shown himself in recent months.
In any case, it will be interesting to watch how Bronny’s entry into the NBA influences his father’s choice regarding his own future.
Bronny James, the son of LeBron James, is rapidly approaching the NBA. In 2024, his expected draft position is mid-first round.
