The Toronto Raptors have been closely monitoring an exciting and promising player in the world of college basketball.
According to Shams Charania on the Pat McAfee show, several teams, including the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat, have been scouting Bronny James for the 2024 NBA Draft. The 6-foot-4 freshman at USC is the son of LeBron James and was previously considered a top prospect until a health scare limited his playing time this year.
LeBron James has expressed his desire to potentially play alongside his son in the future, which could prompt a team to draft Bronny early. While not currently seen as a top prospect, the intrigue surrounding Bronny adds to the excitement of a potential draft pick this year.
With limited cap space, the Toronto Raptors may find it challenging to pursue LeBron James if he becomes available. The team could potentially create some space by making roster moves, but acquiring max contract money this summer seems unlikely for the Raptors.
Despite financial constraints, the Raptors are set to have at least two picks in the upcoming draft and may retain their own pick if it falls within the top six selections.
