We’re in the middle of the NBA Combine with the Draft right around the corner. Prospects from around the world are showing off their skills but before that, the league is taking down each player’s measurements. With that said, we finally have Bronny James’ official measurements after he was medically cleared to enter the draft.

It’s not clear when Bronny James will be selected but many believe his father, LeBron James, wants to play at least one season with his son. So, Bronny is likely to receive some interest from teams across the league. But before the draft, James is participating in the NBA Combine and we finally know his official measurements, according to Alex Weber of On3.

Height (without shoes): 6’1.50″
Standing reach: 8’2.50″
Wingspan: 6’7.25″
Hand length: 8.50 inches
Hand width: 9.50 inches

Bronny James seemingly lacks height. However, his standing reach and wingspan make up for it. Even his hand size is considered large for someone just over six feet tall. When it comes down to it, James has the potential of being a true threat defensively thanks to his long arms. But he’ll need to develop his game if he hopes to get some playing time in the NBA.

James didn’t play a whole lot for the USC Trojans. After coming back from a cardiac arrest, Bronny James played 25 games for the Trojans. He came off the bench averaging 19.3 minutes, 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game. James is considered a raw prospect.

Who will select Bronny James in the 2024 NBA Draft?

Bronny James’ future in the league is unclear. You’d think staying in college for at least one more year would benefit him. However, there’s a belief LeBron James wants to play for the team that takes his son in the NBA Draft. If that’s the case, a front office may decide to select Bronny just to have LeBron play for them.

Draft experts seem to think Bronny James is a second round talent. Which makes sense considering his lack of production at USC. Even so, James has the potential of becoming a solid guard in the NBA. But he has to put in the time to continue developing his game. If not, then it’ll be difficult for James to see much action at the professional level.

There are several teams that could use a point guard but who is going to select Bronny James? As of now, the Los Angeles Lakers are deemed a real option considering they’d like to keep LeBron on the roster. There’s a possibility the front office opts to select Bronny as a way to entice LeBron to return. But only time will tell if they follow through with that conspiracy.

The NBA Draft kicks off on Thursday, June 27. The Atlanta Hawks own the No. 1 pick overall after winning the Lottery. We’ll see how it plays out but the rumor mill is going to remain hot throughout the summer. Especially with LeBron James’ son potentially being selected.
