Bronny James’ NBA Draft stock reaches all-time high: Latest NBA projection for LeBron’s son
Bronny James’ NBA draft stocks are skyrocketing.
While James has yet to decide which college he will attend in 2023, many believe James will be drafted for the 2024 NBA draft after his freshman season. According to ESPN’s top NBA draft pick Jonathan Givony, you should expect James’ name to be one of the top 10 in his draft class.
Most recruiting services have placed James near the top 30 in the high school class of 2023, with ESPN placing him 28th and 247Sports 33rd. However, Givony doesn’t think those distinctions should affect James’ NBA prospects.
Here’s more from Givony on James’ leap in conversation drafts:
James earned his place in lottery talks with the significant jump he made this season at Sierra Canyon in Chatsworth, Calif., evolving into arguably the best fullback in his high school class while progressing in his shooting skills in the outside area and to build up the game.
Givony also cited James’ physical development, athleticism and defensive instincts among traits that “have already caught the eye of NBA decision makers.”
As a result of James’ development and his impressive senior season in Sierra Canyon, he earned selections to the March 28 McDonald’s All-American Game and the April 8 Nike Hoop Summit.
With this latest development, LeBron James’ dream of sharing the floor with Bronny seems one step closer to realizing it.

James has yet to commit to college, but reports say his choice will likely come down between Ohio State, Oregon and USC.
He can commit to college at any time, but the college basketball signing period doesn’t start until April 12 and last through May 17, meaning his official letter of intent confirming his decision may not arrive until the second half of May.
Bronny James’ NBA Scouting Report
Age: 18
Height Weight: 6-3, 190 pounds.
Here’s an excerpt from The Sporting News’ NBA draft pick Kyle Irving, who portrayed James in mid-December:
As a 6-3 18-year-old, James is already a good size and considering LeBron is 6-8, you can probably expect him to grow even more as he enters the draft process. He doesn’t have his father’s wingspan, but Bronny already uses his quick feet and strength to his advantage on the defensive, negating enemy drives with ease.
