The only Bronny James question heading into round two of the NBA Draft revolved around another team stealing James from the Los Angeles Lakers.
However, according to ESPN's Bob Myers, the former GM of the Golden State Warriors, James's Agent, Rich Paul, was not going to have any of that as Myers reported that Paul has been calling other teams in the league warning them against drafting Bronny. If they do take him, he will reportedly refuse to play for them and play in Australia instead.
As it turns out, all went well for the James family. Bronny was selected with the 55th pick in the NBA draft and will now join his legendary day on the Lakers' roster.
Yahoo Sports NBA draft analyst Krysten Peek projected that James would be taken with the 55th overall selection by the Los Angeles Lakers.
“James is far from a finished product, but proved he belonged in this draft class as a prospect at the draft combine, where he shot the ball well and showed more scoring potential in the lane with his floater,” Peek wrote in her most recent mock draft.
