LeBron James’ NBA-hopeful son Bronny ‘will visit Phoenix Suns and his father’s LA Lakers ahead of June draft’ as ex-USC backup is expected to go ‘in the late first or early second round’

Bronny James reportedly plans to visit with only a few NBA teams ahead of next months’ draft: His father LeBron’s Los Angeles Lakers and the Phoenix Suns.

‘The Suns have the No. 22 overall pick in the draft, and he’s under consideration there among a lot of players at 22,’ The Athletic’s Shams Charania said on the Run It Back FanDuel TV show.

‘It’s going to come down to the developmental plan,’ Charania continued as he explained the potential destinations for the 19-year-old former USC guard. ‘It’s going to come down to guaranteed money, whether it’s in the late first-round or in the second-round… There’s only going to be a couple teams – two or three teams – that Bronny James visits and the Lakers and Suns, interestingly, are among the two teams.’

It’s unclear what Charania meant with his references to a ‘developmental plan’ and ‘guaranteed money.’ First-round picks have a set salary scale over the first four years of their career, while second-round picks have more room to negotiate, albeit typically with diminished leverage.

Lakers and Suns spokespeople did not immediately return DailyMail.com’s request for confirmation about Bronny’s pre-draft visits.
