Which team will draft Bronny James? Betting odds reveal who might take LeBron’s son in 2024 NBA Draft

By | June 4, 2024

While not considered a top prospect in the 2024 NBA Draft, Bronny James might be the most fascinating, widely-discussed and heavily-bet player on the big board.

Of course, that’s because his father is LeBron James, the biggest superstar of the sport not named Michael Jordan.

Let’s face it: rarely will any NBA scout even look the way of 19-year-old players coming off freshman seasons in which they averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game while shooting 36.6 percent from the floor and 26.7 percent from three-point land.

However, when LeBron is involved in any way, trends tend to get bucked.

The modern GOAT has alluded many times to wanting a chance to play alongside his son at the highest level of the sport. Bron, now 39, is in season 21 of his illustrious and record-shattering career — and many believe he has held on this long for a chance to team up with young Bronny. 

To be clear, Bronny isn’t even fully committed to the NBA Draft. He can still withdraw from the draft and maintain his college eligibility so he can go back into the portal and likely transfer from USC. If he wants to do that, he must notify the league via email by May 29.

Still, to nobody’s surprise, the odds for which NBA team will draft the 6-4, 210-pound wingman are available on BetMGM and most major sportsbooks. Let’s take a look at what the odds suggest.
