LeBron James’ agent reveals Bronny James NBA Draft truth

Matthew Legros

Klutch Sports agent Rich Paul gave LeBron James’ son Bronny some invaluable advice as his 2024 NBA Draft decision draws closer.

Paul, the elder James’ longtime agent and friend, urged the USC sensation to chart his own course amid facing otherworldly expectations.

The younger James is son of the NBA’s all-time leading scorer. He’s been compared to his All-Star father before even entering the high school ranks.

With the upcoming draft raising the possibility of he and his father gracing the hardwood together, Paul took up for the younger James’ best interest, away from all of the media hype.

Rich Paul wants Bronny James in best NBA situation

The world is expecting the elder James to have major sway in where and how his son makes his triumphal entry into the Association.

Though, Paul revealed that the Los Angeles Lakers superstar wants his son to “be his own man” at the end of the day. The super agent took things a step further by sharing his professional advice to the rising shooting guard, as ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski shared on X.

“‘I don’t value a young player getting into the lottery as much as I do getting him on the right team in the right developmental situation,” Paul said.

Paul’s admission comes following a recent mock draft board that snubbed the freshman talent from their entire first and second-round selections.

The jab swept through the NBA world, seemingly threatening the prospects of the James duo pairing up in the 2024-25 season.

While LeBron and Bronny would likely set attendance records, dominate highlight reels and overwhelm social media, Paul believes the younger James is best off getting in the perfect situation to put his playmaking and athletic abilities on full display.
