Bronny James Could Work Out For Additional Teams Before Draft

Jun 9, 2024 3:09 PM

USC guard Bronny James was set to have a limited number of workouts ahead of the 2024 NBA Draft. However, James' agent Rich Paul of Klutch Sports now says that may not be the case.

After initially restricting his list to the Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns, James may expand that list. Paul told Marc Stein that "a few more" workout invitations are being considered for the 6-foot-4 combo guard.

James is widely projected to be a second-round pick. Paul previously said that James will not consider signing a two-way contract. That, combined with doing fewer workouts, could limit the number of teams interested in drafting James.

Bronny James To Remain In 2024 Draft

May 29, 2024 8:39 AM

Bronny James will stay in the 2024 NBA Draft as an Early Entry Candidate. The deadline for NCAA players to withdraw from the draft and return to college is Wednesday, May 29. James will not be returning to USC, nor transferring.

James began the pre-draft process as a likely undrafted player. After the draft combine and workouts, James has moved solidly into second-round range. He may climb even higher after NCAA and international players with draw from the draft.

Already regarded as a solid defender, James has shown improvement as a shooter and playmaker in the pre-draft process. He's also filled out his frame and has cleared every medical test. The latter was crucial after he surgery to repair a heart defect last summer.
