Report: Bronny James under consideration by Phoenix Suns for No. 22 pick in NBA Draft
The Suns could be interested in LeBron James' son.
The Phoenix Suns are reportedly interested in selecting Bronny James, the son of Los Angeles Lakers all-time legend LeBron James, with their No. 22 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.
Shams Charania, who is the senior NBA insider for The Athletic, said on FanDuel’s “Run It Back” that James, who is represented by his father’s agent, Rich Paul, will go through workouts for a “couple of teams,” including the Suns and Lakers. Charania specifically mentioned the Suns, whose general manager, James Jones, is a former teammate of LeBron’s, as a team interested in Bronny’s services.
“(Bronny) is under consideration [with the Suns’ No. 22 pick] there, among, obviously a lot of players,” Charania said. “It’s going to come down to the development plan, it’s going to come down to guaranteed money…
“But the fact that there’s only going to be a couple of teams, two or three teams, that Bronny James visits. And the Lakers and Suns, interestingly, are among the two teams.”
