Bronny James went off the board No. 55 to Los Angele Lakers at the 2024 NBA Draft.
After a widely speculated pre-draft process, Bronny James — the son of NBA superstar LeBron James — was selected No. 55 by the Lakers, where they’ll become the league’s first-ever father-son duo.“Bronny James is an undersized combo guard, but makes up for the lack of height with a strong frame, great athleticism and quickness. He boasts quick, powerful vertical pop and moves well on both ends.
When it comes down to it, the former Sierra Canyon standout is known for being a shooter. He has deep range and has proven to be a player that can rattle off multiple triples in a single quarter when he gets hot. This has always helped him get his team back into games when trailing, or even pulling away for a win. With that in mind, given his first scoring instinct is to shoot, he sometimes limits himself as an offensive player.
All eyes now turn to 2024 NBA Summer League, which kicks off Saturday, July 6, with the California Classic. The annual summer showdown featuring all 30 teams takes place from July 12-22 in Las Vegas.Derek is co-founder and publisher for Draft Digest and Inside The Thunder for Fan Nation, powered by Sports Illustrated.
