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 pick on Thursday. A CBS Sports panel offered a grade for the Lakers’ highly-scrutinized draft pick.
Bronny James is now poised to play alongside his father, the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, where they could become the first father-son duo to play in the league at the same time.
Bronny James reacted to being drafted by the Lakers with a post on his Instagram story, saying, “Beyond blessed.”
LeBron has said numerous times that he wants to end his career playing alongside his son, and agent Rich Paul did everything he could to deter any other team from taking him.
Bronny is far from a finished product, but the skills he does have currently translate to the NBA. The CBS Sports HQ crew give its grade for the Lakers selecting Bronny James in the 2024 NBA draft.
