Bronny James played a good season in USC, but health problems kept him off the court for a while. With that said, he is still a highly regarded prospect especially after his performance in the NBA Combine.

Analysis have started about where Bronny might go, and many have still considered that his dad’s future depends on which teams drafts him. LeBron James has often talked about his desire to play professional basketball with his son.

LeBron’s future is still up in the air, after he denied and answer on whether e would remain in Los Angeles with the Lakers, and speculations about playing wherever his son ends up started quickly, however sources indicate that will not determine the ‘king’s’ decision.

After Bronny’s performance in the combine, he climbed in multiple mock drafts and rankings and now he is predicted to be selected with the 46th over all pick in the upcoming draft, something that could mean he might be able to stay in Los Angeles, but he would be drafted by the Clippers.

If Clippers pick Bronny, he may change his mind about playing in the NBA

If Bronny James is picked by the Clippers, there is a possibility that he will change his desire to play next season in the NBA, because if he was picked by the Lakers, he would have a legitimate chance to play with his dad.

With that said, even if the Clippers are an attractive team, Bronny can always look back to college basketball, as he maintained his eligibility to play in the NCAA while entering the transfer portal.

Will see if there is a trade in the making that would still put Bronny in an NBA team but either with the other Los Angeles organization or in another city.
