Which team will draft Bronny James just to get Lebron for one year to play with him?

Do you think there is a possibility this will happen?
I have not seen anything NBA-worthy from his son so far.

Definition of Privilege:

Being an under performing guard who is not an NBA quality player. The player should do all 4 years as they aren't good enough or developed enough to be a professional.

Yet, still going to get drafted because of his daddy.

Remember Jalen Lecque? Bronny is basically Jalen Lecque with less talent and Lebron as Daddy

I doubt anyone would waste a pick...but the Lakers may draft him in the 2nd this year...they have the Clips 2nd round pick.

I could see some team using a late 2nd because they just don't give a **** about the pick.

But yeah it's an interesting case because even Bronny should realize he's not a real NBA prospect right now. If he actually wants to be anything more than a token pick and at best a 2-way gift roster spot guy he should really stay in school and try to improve his game.

And it's just good to see him out there playing after the heart issue.

If there was assurance that he would sign with any team if they draft his kid, I believe he would go late lottery - early 20's.
People have to remember, if you are a team that is a LeBron away from winning it all, it's worth trading a good first (ie: wasting a good pick on his kid).

Now, I realize James isn't turning down a 50mil option to play for the minimum, but as an example, if the Suns wind up with the 22nd pick, and Bronny is there and the team knows James would sign, you can't tell me they won't draft him.

You're probably right and it's wild that a soon to be 40 year old LeBron has that kind of pull. He's something else.
