 And in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft, the Los Angeles Lakers selected Bronny James, 55th overall, out of the University of Southern California. Bronny is Lakers star LeBron James' oldest son, who played one year in college before being drafted. Bronny only played in 25 games and averaged nearly 5 points per game at USC. He missed the first month of the season after suffering from cardiac arrest last July during an offseason workout.
