Growing belief Bronny James will go at No. 55 to Lakers in NBA draft

If Bronny doesn’t want the NBA draft just yet, one school stands out

The NBA draft is almost here. It is just a week and a half away. USC guard Bronny James is waiting to see, first of all, if he will be drafted. Then he will want to know where he is going at the start of his professional career. If we are being honest, it is likely that Bronny will play in the G League for a good portion of next season. However, being with LeBron James on the Lakers would be a unique experience for Bronny. If he does go to the Lakers, he will certainly accompany his dad on at least a few flights to NBA games and warm up on court in an NBA team uniform, which would be really cool. Is it a done deal that Bronny is going to the Lakers, or will another team intervene?

LeBron Wire picked up a report in which NBA writer Marc Stein said the following:

“The Mavericks would have interest in selecting Bronny James with the 58th overall pick in the upcoming NBA Draft, league sources say,” Stein reported. But the Mavericks also realize it’s extremely unlikely that James will still be available for selection. All current indications suggest that LeBron James’ 19-year-old son will be selected earlier in the second round before Dallas makes the last pick in the draft.”

The Lakers have the No. 55 pick in the NBA draft and are expected to use it on Bronny. If the Lakers do pass on Bronny, no team picking after No. 55 could be blamed for ruining the Lakers’ plans.
