Speculations surrounding LeBron James‘ son Bronny James’ basketball career dramatically intensified when he began his senior year of high school. A star in his own right, Bronny has made quite a name for himself. Now fans can’t wait to see Bronny share the NBA hardwood with his father LeBron James, given that the Los Angeles Lakers legend himself started his professional career right out of high school.

No matter what the 18-year-old does, he is still pretty much under the shadow of his father’s massive name. King James is the most popular NBA athlete currently and it is tough for the young kid to break out from that shell and mould a separate identity. As conversations about Bronny’s future intensify, the budding star has recently received some strong assessments from NBA scouts.

Almost every single move made by Bronny this season was inspected, studied, and debated on the Internet. We are yet to know whether he will follow in his father’s footsteps as he prepares for his college stint.

Ohio State Buckeyes are in the news as a potential target for the young athlete. Other than that, he is projected to be a top-10 pick in the 2024 NBA draft, as per ESPN. Needless to say, Bronny is headed for the big leagues. However, where does he really stand as an NBA hopeful? NBA scouts have answered without mincing words.

The 18-year-old is considered to be one of the most in-demand names ahead of the draft. One NBA scout said, “Bronny won’t get drafted because he’s LeBron’s kid, he’ll get drafted because he’s an NBA player.” He added that Bronny “works hard, goes about his business, and is tough.” These are definitely good signs for an emerging talent. Another NBA scout said that Bronny “is a good, two-three year college player“.

With the big news just around the corner, there is a kind of excitement in the NBA world about the young talent which is not very common.
