The Sierra Canyon senior and eldest son of LeBron James has a strong basketball future ahead. Bronny James has recently been projected to be the in the top 10 for the 2024 NBA Draft pick.
Bronny has been on many scouts’ radars for a while now. Just last year, a report indicated that may college coaches believe that he still has years to go before he is truly NBA ready. ESPN‘s mock draft seems to think otherwise, placing Bronny at the No. 10 spot to be picked by the Orlando Magic. While the official 2024 draft is 16 months away, ESPN believe that Bronny “has earned his spot in lottery conversations with the significant jump he has made at Sierra Canyon in Chatsworth, California, this season, developing into arguably the best perimeter defender in his high school class while making strides in his perimeter shooting and playmaking ability.”
In comparison to his peers, Bronny appears to have grown, while many have merely flatlined in the past 12 to 18 months. With that said, Bronny still has room for improvement as a ballhandler and pull-up jumper to become a more efficient shot-creator. Currently, Bronny is uncommitted and is still looking for the right fit to begin his college basketball career. Take a look below at the top 10 picks in ESPN‘s mock 2024 draft.
