Bronny James Considering Workouts with Lakers and Suns for NBA Draft

In an exciting turn of events, Bronny James, son of NBA superstar LeBron James, has reportedly received over 10 workout invites from various teams ahead of the NBA draft. According to The Athletic's Shams Charania, around 10 teams have expressed interest in the USC guard since he declared for the draft in April.

However, despite the numerous invitations, James has only been in talks with two or three teams so far, as revealed by Charania. It has been confirmed that the Los Angeles Lakers and the Phoenix Suns are among the teams James is considering visiting.

The Lakers' connection to James is not surprising, as reports have been circulating for nearly two months that the 18-year-old guard is linked to his father's team. LeBron James himself has expressed a desire to potentially play alongside his son in the NBA, which has further fueled speculation about Bronny joining the Lakers.

On the other hand, the Suns hold the No. 22 pick in the upcoming NBA draft, which is scheduled for Wednesday, June 26. With several promising players in consideration for that pick, the Suns could see Bronny James as a potential addition to their roster. Charania predicts that James could be drafted towards the end of the first round or early in the second round.

The final decision on James's destination will likely depend on the "development plan" and "guaranteed money" offered by the teams he visits. As of now, his primary focus seems to be on the Lakers and the Suns, although more teams may enter the picture in the future.

Basketball fans eagerly await the NBA draft to see where the talented young guard will land. Will he join his father in Los Angeles, or find a new home in Phoenix? Only time will tell as the draft approaches and James evaluates his options.
