Bronny James

Bronny James is expected to be drafted tonight.

LeBron James' son, who holds the record for the most career points scored, was not chosen in the first round of the NBA draft on Wednesday. Now, he will have to wait and see if he gets selected in the second round when the draft continues on Thursday afternoon.

The best choice for Bronny James could be the 55th overall pick, which is currently held by the Los Angeles Lakers. This team happens to be the one that LeBron James, who is likely to become a free agent soon, has been playing for since 2018.

The James family has been spending time in New York this week, but it is unclear whether Bronny James will attend the second round of the draft.

Bronny James spent a year playing college basketball at Southern California. He had an average of 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game during the previous season. He missed the beginning of the season due to a procedure to correct a congenital heart defect. This issue was discovered after he experienced cardiac arrest during a summer training session.

A group of doctors approved Bronny James to play in the NBA last month.

Bronny James is getting a lot of attention as a second-round draft prospect, mainly because of his famous family name. His father is a four-time NBA champion who will be starting his 22nd season in the NBA this fall. Despite being listed at 6-foot-4 on USC's roster, Bronny actually measured in at 6 feet, 1 1/2 inches at the combine.

If Bronny James enters the NBA for the upcoming season, he and LeBron James could make history as the first father-son duo to play in the league together. Throughout NBA history, there have been around 100 cases of players following in their father's footsteps and joining the league, but none have done so at the same time.
