Bronny James Ignores Adam Silver’s NBA Draft Invite as Lakers Fans Have a Field Day Online

Bronny James, the projected second-round pick will be on the lookout on day two of the Draft. The Lakers, who have their pick locked in at 55th are hopeful to land Bronny. However, each year, the league invites Draft prospects to the Green Room where they can sit with their families. It is usually a good indication of their position in the Draft. Bronny’s name in the Green Room attendees doesn’t seem to be added to the list.

The teenager is the most anticipated player to get drafted this year. James Jr. will not be attending the Draft in person after he ignored the Green Room invitation. It isn’t that Bronny won’t be drafted, instead, he did go with the invitation. Prospects like Cam Christie and Harrison Ingram have officially listed their names as Green Room attendees. But when it comes to Bronny, his name will be called at the very end of the second round.

This left Lakers fans believing that James won’t get drafted. The former Trojan declared for the draft earlier this year and has been on the scouts’ list. He also worked out for the Lakers before and his candidature seems solid. Teams like the Nuggets and other franchises who are close to the 55th pick may try to bring him in, but the Lakers are determined to land Bronny.

Rich Paul, Bronny’s agent, will be revealing his plan for James Jr. soon. However, upon hearing the news about Bronny’s availability in the Green Room, fans couldn’t take it, as they sent mixed reactions. Apart from some known names, Bronny is the most highlighted player of this year’s draft.
