Bronny James is the talk of the town with the 2024 NBA Draft all set to roll. LeBron James's son is seeking a team in the NBA after a topsy-turvy season at best with the USC Trojans.
In terms of rating the rookies for the draft, Bleacher Report posted a reel featuring NBPA Top 100 Camp athletes. The question asked to these school kids was:
"Who’s the most underrated player in this year’s draft?? @top100camp"
One kid that was among the lot was Kiyan Anthony, son of former NBA All-Star Carmelo Anthony. He took no time in answering the question:
"Bronny James"
The 19-year-old has often been subjected to claims of nepotism given his relationship with NBA legend - King James. However, Bronny is on a path to carve his own future.

LeBron James feeling the pressure over Bronny James' NBA Draft
Wednesday night is about the 2024 NBA Draft, with all eyes on Bronny James, the eldest son of NBA legend LeBron James. After a promising season at USC, Bronny is eager to hear his name called and begin his professional basketball career.
For LeBron, this is an emotional moment. The four-time NBA MVP, who completed his 21st season, took to Instagram to share his emotions.
“Not a feeling in the (expletive) world better than being around raising my boys to MEN!” he wrote. “Pops over here getting emotional as hell just thinking about y'all journey so far! Thank you both for allowing me to be your DAD and be a part of your compass through life’s trials and tribulations!”
LeBron has long expressed a desire to play alongside his son in the NBA, telling The Athletic in 2022:
“My last year will be played with my son.”
However, his agent Rich Paul recently clarified that there’s no guarantee.
“If he does, he does. But if he doesn't, he doesn't,” Paul told ESPN.
As Bronny's draft night approaches, the pressure mounts. LeBron’s initial dream of playing with his son may not be set in stone, but the excitement and emotion surrounding Bronny’s potential NBA journey remains undeniable.
