The debate we all knew was coming is here: Is Bronny James, freshman at USC, actually going to get drafted?

Yesterday, Shams Charania said James is on 'the draft boards of multiple teams.' No specific range, but other sources have put him in 'flyer' territory.

More wrinkles:

• This draft is not expected to be a particularly good one

• LeBron can be a free agent after this season. Would someone draft Bronny to lure his dad?
