2024 NBA Draft Odds: Which Team Will Draft Bronny James?

The son of the NBA’s all-time leading scorer will be eligible for the 2024 NBA Draft.

Bronny James, son of LeBron James, will be one of the more exciting prospects in an otherwise lackluster draft class. But which team will take Bronny?

The latest NBA Draft odds at the BetMGM online sportsbook help answer that question.

NBA Draft Odds – Team to Draft Bronny James

Prediction: Philadelphia 76ers (+2200)

When it comes to Bronny James, suddenly, everyone is a draft expert. People seem to think he has no business being taken in this year’s draft, even though everyone admits it’s an underwhelming class.

That overconfidence is just as true when it comes to which team will draft Bronny.

The Lakers are clear NBA betting favorites to select Bronny, as most expect them to do so with the 55th pick in this year’s draft.

As of draft week, 58.6% of the money and 32.3% of tickets have been on the Lakers to pick James.

However, it’s important to note the market states which team will draft James. That means another team could select Bronny and trade him to the Lakers after the pick has been made.

In addition, teams could draft Bronny with the hopes of landing his father in free agency. LeBron James doesn’t have to opt in until after the draft.

As Eric Pincus of Bleacher Report has reported, the 76ers remain the most logical team to make such a move. They have the cap space to sign James in free agency and the No. 41 pick in the NBA Draft.

Now that the Lakers have struck out on Dan Hurley and hired JJ Reddick as the head coach, LeBron may choose to end his career in a situation that could be more favorable to competing for one last championship. The 76ers have always made the most sense as a marquee franchise looking for one more player to push them through in the Eastern Conference.

It would be a neat way for LeBron to end his career, and perhaps be just the situation Bronny needs to carve out a role as a contributor off the bench.

Has a father and son played together in the NBA?

While the NBA has seen many sons carry on the basketball legacy of their fathers, the league hasn’t ever had a father and son playing at the same time.
