The interest in Bronny James’ impending NBA Draft has reached fever pitch even with the event being a month away. After raising his stock in the Chicago NBA combine, LeBron James Jr. was seen in the Lakers facility on the Klutch group’s pro day. The drawing power of the James name was on full display as the facility was filled with curious onlookers from GMs, scouts and NBA superstars.

Of course, his father was there, and so were Anthony Davis and Zach LaVine. This was incidentally the first time LeBron and AD were seen together since their elimination game in the first round of the playoffs. Rapper Cam’ron was also spotted near the courtside to catch a glimpse of Bronny.

Bronny James only spent a year with the USC Trojans team and averaged 4.8 points from 36.6% shooting in the 25 games he played. His minutes were numbered, keeping in mind his recovery from cardiac arrest suffered last year. Despite only being tipped as a second-round pick, his combined performance generated some buzz around the front offices, be it a minor one. As a result, his draft rank might go up a bit, but he will be a 2nd round pick nonetheless.

Bronny James Possibly Heading to South Bay Lakers

After the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago last week, the Lakers reportedly talked to Bronny. With LeBron James’ future uncertain with the franchise, Bronny has been seen as a bargaining chip to keep the 39-year-old around with the Lakers.

Bleacher Report’s Eric Pincus reported the Lakers remain a potential landing spot, but James Jr. would probably head to the South Bay Lakers, the team’s G-League Affiliate. In this scenario, a two-way contract is a way to go, but the chances of the 19-year-old getting drafted to another franchise are not entirely off the table yet.

Even if Bronny doesn’t get drafted, which looks highly improbable at the moment, he will have the option to go back to collegiate basketball with his name already on the transfer portal.
