JamesCurrently, the father-son duo of LeBron James and Bronny James dominates both the college and global basketball headlines. LeBron, because of his Los Angeles Lakers producing just enough to keep them in playoff contention. Bronny, due to maintaining a void in marking his NBA entry and joining his father on the hard maple.

So, as the Lakers climb back to the 8th spot after the win against the Memphis Grizzlies, James is probed about Bronny James’ decision to enter the 2024 NBA drafts. The 19-year-old guard recently declared to enter the college transfer portal and the drafts, leaving fans guessing about his near future. James, backing up his statements from the all-star weekend, said, “Bronny is his own man, he’s going to make his own decision. As a family, we’re going to support whatever decision he decides to make.”

Bronny James, coming off a cardiac health situation from last year, sees a lot of heat from NBA insiders across the league. Due to his dismal 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists season with the USC, experts question the authenticity of his draft prospect.

Moreover, there is a notion that the sole candidacy element in Bronny’s Draft declaration comes through his father’s influence. Talent evaluators, scouts and renowned executives claim that Bronny’s chances to be picked in the draft are minimal when solely advocating “the merits of his game.” One executive claimed to “feel bad a little bit” for Bronny, while another questions his draft “I don’t know what he does at an NBA level,” while citing that Bronny “has a burden to bear.”

With that, Bronny’s NBA entry sees shunning by majority of Insiders. Many reports, ignoring half of Bronny’s declaration, have already cited his next stint to continue at the collegiate level.

Bronny James can end up with family in Duquesne

Despite of what the Insiders claim, Bronny James garners interest from several teams across the league. However, if the defensive guard proceeds to mark a new beginning on the college level, Dukes of Duquesne can suit him the most.

LeBron already has a connection with the team. He gifted the entire 2023 squad a fresh pair of his Brons under the leadership of his high-school coach Keith Dambrot. Moreover, his high school teammate, Dru Joyce, has taken on the coaching role at the University.

Duquesne’s top 2 guards have recently graduated, leaving a void open for Bronny James to fill. With that, he will have both, more freedom to find his game and a family connection for the ventures beyond court. Furthermore, siding with Duquesne can enable Bronny to create an impact by bringing the cameras and scouts to the program with just 6 NCAA tournament runs under its belt.
