After much speculation about what the immediate future held for USC star guard Bronny James, the son of Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James recently decided that he would enter the 2024 NBA Draft but keep his options open to return to college if need be.
A lot of NBA analysts and experts have been highly critical of Bronny James’ game, as he doesn’t seem to be anywhere near a finished product and didn’t exactly blow anyone away with what he showed at the University of Southern California, which has led some to believe he’d be a waste of a draft pick.
However, with LeBron saying that he wants to play with his son at some point, it seems NBA teams are viewing drafting Bronny as a package deal that would include his father, who is still playing at a very high level as he approaches 40 years old.
On Monday, odds surfaced, via BetOnline, about Bronny and which team is favored to select him in the upcoming 2024 NBA Draft, and it comes as no surprise that the Lakers have the best odds as of right now.

Obviously, these odds can and likely will change a few times over before the draft gets underway on June 26 and continues with the second round on June 27.
The Lakers seem desperate to re-sign LeBron James, who will likely opt out of his deal next month and sign a long-term deal, which could be his last in the NBA.
Los Angeles bringing in Bronny James would definitely help the team’s attempt to bring LeBron back for what would likely be two or three more years.
