The Suns will bring in Bronny James for a second workout this week but the Lakers are likely to draft him in the second round, according to ESPN’s Jonathan Givony (hat tip to the Arizona Republic’s Duane Rankin). The Lakers have a second-rounder at No. 55, while the Suns would need to acquire one. Both teams have first-rounders.
“The sense among teams is that his agent, Rich Paul, does not want him on a two-way contract, and the range he’s going to be picked, that 40 to 58 range, that’s where two-way contracts are handed out,” Givony said on ESPN’s NBA Today. “So it’s looking right now like Bronny is going to slide there to 55. I don’t think any NBA team wants to pick him and deal with the repercussions of that. So that’s the way it’s trending as of today.”
We have more Western Conference news:
- The Timberwolves hosted a pre-draft workout on Tuesday that included Fardaws Aimaq (California). Jermaine Couisnard (Oregon), Ajay Mitchell (UCSB), Tyler Thomas (Hofstra), Drew Pember (UNC Asheville) and Terrence Shannon Jr. (Illinois), the team’s PR department tweets. Shannon, a high-scoring guard from Illinois, is the highest-rated prospect among that group at No. 26 on ESPN‘s Best Available list.
- A play-making guard who can also create opportunities for others, as well as another big man who can space the floor with perimeter shooting, are the type of players the Mavericks need to target this offseason, Mike Curtis of the Dallas Morning News writes. Their best hope of acquiring at least one of those players is via a trade, with Tim Hardaway Jr.‘s expiring contract facilitating the deal.
- Colorado shooting guard Cody Williams could be a dark-horse candidate for the Spurs with the No. 4 pick, according to LJ Ellis of SpursTalk.com. Williams has a chance to develop into a multi-purpose wing with size, which would make him an intriguing choice as the Spurs build around star big man Victor Wembanyama.
Boston have the 54th pick, extortion time. Two second rounders or Bronny can play for the Red Claws lol.
You need a Bron jersey bud
Why? my house is always stocked with toilet paper, man.
Probably because you are so obsessed with your man crush Lebron that you might as well just get it over with and get his jersey. I have never seen anyone want to talk more about another grown man in my life. Get some help.
Your jedi mind tricks won’t work, Bron sucks. You force something down my throat, I go the other way. Hit the books kid, stay in school.
“Bron sucks” first all time in points 4th all time in assists. You wish you had that kind of evidence of “sucking” all you have to show is all the unread dms you have sent to ladies and your Cal Ripken like consecutive days on your virginity. The funny thing is in the real world nobody cares about you good or bad. This is your only outlet to the world crying about another grown man you are jealous of beyond belief. Pathetic.
Got as far as Bron sucks and done. I also have plenty of firewood at home, keep your bron jersey.
Who would have guessed someone who embarrasses themselves as much as you do struggles with reading haha
the nba is a joke
Shannon would be a good fit on the Wolves second team unit. They need a guy who can create his own shot and get to the basket. The need for a 3 point shooter who can rebound could make Scheierman an intriguing option, as well.
Rich Paul is a scumbag
They’re just cramming this Bronny kid down all our throats.
