Los Angeles is the current favorite to land Bronny. With the latest news, the Lakers' odds to draft James out of USC also shortened slightly to +180 from +190.
As a freshman for the Trojans, Bronny averaged 4.8 points and 2.1 assists per game. He played in 25 contests, averaging 19.4 minutes.
Bronny's dad, on the other hand, famously skipped college and was drafted first overall by Cleveland in 2003.
Outside of Bronny, the focus in Laker land has been where the elder James will end up after this offseason, considering he has a player option this summer.
At the end of April, The Athletic reported that "the Lakers are very open to the prospect of helping LeBron fulfill his dream of playing with his son Bronny by potentially drafting him."
With LeBron's decision to stay or go looming, FOX Sports' Nick Wright gave his take on where the four-time champion should take his talents next season.
"I, as a basketball fan, would love to see him have one final arc somewhere else," Wright said on a recent episode of "The Herd." I think LeBron James bringing the New York Knicks to the NBA Finals for a first time in a quarter-century would be pretty great. I think he would fit in that Julius Randle spot quite well.
"I also think four rings for four franchises would be unbelievable."
