The Los Angeles Lakers are "very open" to adding Bronny James to their roster next season and could potentially draft him.

Bronny James is evaluating his options after his freshman season at USC, which includes declaring for the draft or transferring to another school. Bronny was a projected lottery pick in the 2024 NBA draft before his cardiac arrest and disappointing freshman season with USC. Bronny was moved by ESPN from the lottery in 2024 to the second round in 2025 in their mock drafts.

LeBron James is expected to be a free agent this offseason and has spoken about his desire to play on the same team as Bronny in the NBA.

Tristan Da Silva has declared for the 2024 NBA draft. 

Da Silva is a projected top-20 pick in the draft coming off his senior season at Colorado.

In 34 games last season, Da Silva averaged 16.0 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 34.0 minutes per game.

Jayden Quaintance has committed to Arizona State as part of the incoming class of 2025.

Quaintance is a potential lottery pick for the 2026 NBA draft and is the No. 2 ranked center in the class.

Quaintance recently decommitted from Kentucky. 

Liam McNeeley has committed to Connecticut as part of the incoming class of 2024.

McNeeley, ESPN's No. 9 prospect in the class of 2024, was named a McDonald's All American after helping Montverde Academy to a perfect 33-0 season

McNeeley, a 6-foot-7 wing from Richardson, Texas, picked the Huskies over Arkansas, Kentucky, Alabama, Michigan and others. 

McNeeley is considered arguably the best perimeter shooter in his class. 

McNeeley was a projected lottery pick in ESPN's first 2025 mock draft, released in January.

Miami freshman Kyshawn George entered the NBA Draft on Thursday and will hire an agent.

George is a projected first-round pick.

"I decided to follow my basketball dream and make it a reality. I did not expect anything from this season besides working on my game and getting better every day," said George.

George averaged 7.6 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.2 assists this season.

Tidjane Saluan of Cholet Basket in France has declared as an Early Entry Candidate for the 2024 NBA Draft. Salaun won't turn 19 until mid-August, making him one of the younger prospects in this year's draft class.

In 48 games for Cholet Basket this season, the 6-foot-9 forward has averaged 9.6 points and 3.9 rebounds in 23.3 minutes per game. Salaun has shot 40.4% from the field, including 33% on three-pointers. The expectation is that Salaun's offensive game will round to complement his already good defense.

Salaun is projected to be lottery pick by most draft experts.

Thierry Darlan, who spent most of the season with G League Ignite, has declared as an Early Entry Candidate for the 2024 NBA Draft. The 20-year-old wing is currently playing for Bangui Sporting Club out of the Central African Republic in Basketball Africa League qualifiers.

With the Ignite, Darlan averaged 5.4 points and 3.7 rebounds in 19.1 minutes per game off the bench. The 6-foot-8 wing has shown better in BAL qualifiers. Darlan has averaged 19.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.3 blocks for Bangui Sporting Club.

Most draft experts have Darlan as being picked late in the second round or going undrafted.

University of Illinois senior forward Coleman Hawkins has declared as an Early Entry Candidate for the 2024 NBA Draft. Hawkins could have played a fifth season of college basketball, due to the NCAA granting players an addition year of eligibility due to COVID-impacted seasons.

Hawkins was a two-year starter for the Illini. The 6-foot-10 forward averaged 12.1 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.1 blocks as a senior.

Hawkins projects to be a late second-round pick or a possible post-draft two-way signee.

G League Ignite forward Izan Almansa has declared as an Early Entry Candidate for the 2024 NBA Draft. Almansa is from Spain and has played for Overtime Elite, in addition to the Ignite.

The 6-foot-10 forward averaged 10.5 points and 7.1 rebounds for the Ignite this season. Almansa shot 55% from the field in his lone G League season.

The 18-year-old big man is considered an early second-round pick by most draft experts. At one point, Almansa was considered as a lottery pick. However, a poor season on an underwhelming Ignite team saw the Spanish forward's draft stock drop.

Zach Edey has declared for the 2024 NBA draft. 

"I felt like it was time," Edey said. "I showed that I'm a physical presence on offense this season," Edey said. "I also showed I can play defense. I can guard in space, even defend guards."

Edey is one of the most decorated players in college basketball history, the first to win unanimous National Player of the Year honors since Bill Walton in 1973. He led the nation in scoring at 24.9 points per game, and finished third in rebounding at 12.2.

ESPN ranks Edey as the 14th best prospect in the draft class.
