CBS Sports weighs in on Lakers’ Bronny James’ NBA draft pick

The Los Angeles Lakers have selected Bronny James, the eldest son of superstar LeBron James, with the 55th pick in the 2024 NBA draft. The Lakers made the choice on Thursday. A CBS Sports panel graded the Lakers’ carefully researched draft pick.

Bronny James is now set to play alongside his father, the NBA’s all-time leading scorer. They could become the first father-son duo to play in the NBA at the same time.

Bronny James responded to being drafted by the Lakers with a post on his Instagram Story, saying, “Beyond blessed.”

LeBron has said several times that he wants to end his career playing alongside his son, and agent Rich Paul did everything he could to prevent other teams from hiring him.

Bronny is far from a finished product, but the skills he currently possesses will translate to the NBA. The CBS Sports HQ crew grades the Lakers’ selection of Bronny James in the 2024 NBA draft.
