Bronny's future has been a major talking point in the recruiting world, and not just because of his father.
He is a 4-star prospect and the No. 45 overall player in the class of 2023, per 247Sports' composite rankings.
LeBron has made no secret of his desire to play alongside Bronny in the NBA one day, and he has a 2024-25 player option on his current deal with the Los Angeles Lakers. Perhaps he will wait to see whether his son is drafted in 2024 before making his next contract decision.
