30 picks down, 28 to go. The second round of the 2024 NBA draft is tonight, and there is still a multitude of talented producers ripe for the picking, none more intriguing than USC guard Bronny James.
The Prince who was promised is still on the board, and likely will be for a long time tonight, with most experts predicting him to go 55th to the Los Angeles Lakers, just four picks from the end of the draft.
Of course, with LeBron James‘ free agency looming large, there is still a chance that another team jumps the Lakers and selects Bronny James in an effort to convince the King to join their squad.
Outside of Bronny, other players that are drawing a lot of attention include Johnny Furphy, Kyle Filipowski and Tyler Kolek.
But with several shocking moments in Round 1, such as Zach Edey going in the top ten, French stars being taken left and right, Dalton Knecht falling to 17, and Matas Buzelis falling outside the top ten, the second round could be even more shocking. Here is where experts believe they will fall tonight.
Vecenie writes: “James has potential as a defender and shooter, but he struggles to handle the ball at a high enough level to play point guard at 6-foot-1. I have an Exhibit 10 grade on him and don’t see him as draftable, but the odds seem good that he’ll hear his name called.”
