Bronny James, son of NBA superstar LeBron James, has declared for the 2024 NBA Draft after leaving USC, sparking widespread discussion among fans, analysts, and NBA insiders. Draymond Green, a notable NBA player, has voiced strong support for Bronny's decision, confidently stating that Bronny "will 100% be a successful NBA player." This sentiment is echoed by other figures in the sports community, including Mark Jackson, who highlighted Bronny's capabilities as an NBA-level defender. However, opinions on Bronny's readiness for the NBA are divided. Some NBA front office personnel have expressed skepticism about his immediate readiness to play in the league, with one general manager reportedly stating that Bronny is "nowhere near ready" to compete at the NBA level. Amidst this debate, speculation about which team might draft Bronny is rampant, with the Lakers and the possibility of the 76ers drafting him to potentially lure LeBron James being notable topics of discussion. The latest NBA mock draft from Yahoo suggests the Lakers as a potential destination for Bronny.
