'23 CA CG Bronny James (USC commit)

I'm not sure that it would change Bronny's plans, but Boogie Ellis just announced he'll stay at USC another year. So it's looking like Bronny would be fighting to be the #3 guard there next season. Not an ideal scenario, to say the least.

ESPN analyst projects Bronny James as a top 10 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft​

ESPN's Jonathan Givony now projects Bronny James to be selected in the top 10 of the 2024 NBA Draft.

"Bronny James is now a projected top-10 pick thanks to the significant jump he's made at Sierra Canyon, developing into arguably the best perimeter defender in his class while making strides with his shooting and playmaking," Givony tweeted of James, who is currently in his senior season at Sierra Canyon School in Los Angeles.

I don't expect him to be a top-10 pick. Usually they are drafting for upside or special skills that high. Not sure how he gets from where he is now to that point. Maybe if he and LeBron are a package deal, I can see a team reaching for him.

Re: James has the option to opt out of the deal for the 2024-25 season which is for $50,625,000. The contract includes a 15% trade kicker–a bonus equal to 15% of the remaining value of the deal–that James will be paid if the Lakers decide to trade him.

Yeah, I guess James could opt out of his Lakers contract and agree to sign with a team that would draft his son, etc.; however, it would undoubtedly cost him millions. I think it is more likely that the Lakers somehow acquire Bronny or Lebron just signs as a free agent with the team that has the rights to Bronny for the 2025/2026 season..

I found 3 mock drafts and none of them have him in the top 10:
