In a highly anticipated move, the Los Angeles Lakers have selected Bronny James, the eldest son of superstar LeBron James, with the 55th overall pick in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft.

James, a 6'3" guard, was considered a top prospect in the draft, and his selection by the Lakers has been met with excitement and anticipation. James's agent, Rich Paul of Klutch Sports, had previously indicated that James would only work out for the Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Lakers.

The Lakers are looking to add depth to their roster after a disappointing season, and James is seen as a potential long-term piece for their future. He is a skilled scorer and passer with a high basketball IQ, and he is expected to bring energy and athleticism to the Lakers' backcourt.

The Lakers also added veteran shooter JJ Redick to their roster this offseason, indicating that they are serious about competing for an NBA championship.

James's first time on the court in a Lakers uniform will likely be July 6 when the Lakers open a three-game slate at the California Classic.
