Bronny James is facing a challenging path to potentially be selected in the first round of the NBA Draft, and there are even rumors suggesting he may join his father’s team for the start of the 2024-25 season. However, his draft prospects remain uncertain, and it is unclear if he will be selected at all.

Bronny James had a health scare when he experienced cardiac arrest during preseason workouts before his freshman season at USC. Despite that setback, he managed to play 25 games for the Trojans, averaging 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game.

LeBron James had previously expressed his dream of playing in the NBA alongside his son, but after the Los Angeles Lakers were eliminated from the playoffs, he stated that he hadn’t given much recent thought to that aspiration.

Bronny James, on the other hand, stated that his primary goal has always been to make a name for himself and reach the NBA. While his father has mentioned the possibility of playing together, he acknowledges that the NBA is a serious business, and he believes he will be drafted based on his own merits and character, not just because of his father.

Bronny James participated in the NBA Scouting Combine and was measured at a height of 6 feet, 1.5 inches, despite being listed at 6 feet, 4 inches at USC. He also demonstrated an impressive vertical leap of 40.5 inches.

Currently, the Atlanta Hawks hold the No. 1 pick in the draft, but most mock drafts project Bronny James as a second-round pick.
