Let\u2019s take a look at where various mock drafts are predicting he\u2019ll land:<\/p>\n<p><strong>ESPN<\/strong>: Golden State Warriors (No. 52 overall) While not a high pick, James has been steadily climbing the ranks in ESPN\u2019s mock drafts, indicating a growing recognition of his potential. The idea of him joining the Golden State Warriors adds an intriguing twist to the narrative, diverging from the expected path of landing with the Lakers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bleacher Report<\/strong>: Los Angeles Lakers (No. 55 overall) Bleacher Report\u2019s Jonathan Wasserman sees James as a \u201crisk-free\u201d pick with considerable upside, particularly given his skills as a versatile point guard. The allure of joining his father\u2019s team, the Lakers, likely plays a role in this projection.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NetScouts<\/strong>: Los Angeles Lakers (No. 55 overall) NetScouts, too, foresees James donning the purple and gold of the Lakers. His inclusion in their mock draft after previously being omitted suggests a notable surge in his draft stock, further fueled by his reported workouts with the franchise.<\/p>\n<p><strong>USA Today\/College Sports Wire<\/strong>: Los Angeles Lakers (No. 55 overall) The trend continues with USA Today\/College Sports Wire, pointing towards the Lakers as James\u2019 likely destination. With LeBron James\u2019 ties to the team and reports of Bronny working out with them, the prospect of a familial reunion on the court seems increasingly plausible.<\/p>\n<p>As draft day draws nearer, the speculation surrounding Bronny James\u2019 NBA future only intensifies. Will he follow in his father\u2019s footsteps in Los Angeles, or will a surprise twist await him with another team? The basketball world awaits the answer eagerly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Bronny James USC stats<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>25 games (6 starts)<\/li>\n<li>19.4 minutes per game<\/li>\n<li>4.8 points per game<\/li>\n<li>2.8 rebounds per game<\/li>\n<li>2.1 assists per game<\/li>\n<li>0.8 steals per game<\/li>\n<li>0.2 blocks per game<\/li>\n<li>36.6 percent field goal shooting<\/li>\n<li>26.7 percent 3-point shooting<\/li>\n<li>67.6 percent free throw shooting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"zephr-feature_article-content-body\">\n<section id=\"article-body\">\n<div>\n<h2><strong>Bronny James measurements<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"table-container\">\n<table style=\"height: 165px\" border=\"1\" width=\"693\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><strong>Bronny James<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Height<\/td>\n<td>6-1.5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Weight<\/td>\n<td>210.4 pounds<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wingspan<\/td>\n<td>6-7.25<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Hand size<\/td>\n<td>8.5 x 9.5 inches<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Standing reach<\/td>\n<td>8-2.5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bronny James has made a bold move, opting to bypass his remaining college eligibility and dive headfirst into the whirlwind\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":38642,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[3818],"class_list":["post-17900","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba","tag-bronny-james"],"reading_time":"3 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17900","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17900"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17900\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/38642"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17900"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17900"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17900"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
