Klutch Sports agent Rich Paul gave LeBron James’ son Bronny some invaluable advice as his 2024 NBA Draft decision draws closer.
Paul, the elder James’ longtime agent and friend, urged the USC sensation to chart his own course amid facing otherworldly expectations.
The younger James is son of the NBA’s all-time leading scorer. He’s been compared to his All-Star father before even entering the high school ranks.
With the upcoming draft raising the possibility of he and his father gracing the hardwood together, Paul took up for the younger James’ best interest, away from all of the media hype.

“‘I don’t value a young player getting into the lottery as much as I do getting him on the right team in the right developmental situation,” Paul said.
Paul’s admission comes following a recent mock draft board that snubbed the freshman talent from their entire first and second-round selections.
The jab swept through the NBA world, seemingly threatening the prospects of the James duo pairing up in the 2024-25 season.
While LeBron and Bronny would likely set attendance records, dominate highlight reels and overwhelm social media, Paul believes the younger James is best off getting in the perfect situation to put his playmaking and athletic abilities on full display.
