Bronny James, the eldest son and now-teammate of Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James, is the biggest storyline to emerge from the 2024 NBA draft.
A second-round pick by the Lakers in June, James signed a four-year deal worth $7.9 million with Los Angeles. He'll likely spend some time with the G League South Bay Lakers as a rookie, but he'll be on the team's active roster throughout the year and also will be included in the NBA 2K25 video game that will be released in September.
The first hint at how his talent could stack up against his fellow NBA players dropped Friday when Ronnie Singh, best known as "Ronnie 2K," released the video game player ratings in NBA 2K25 for the 2024 draft class.
James is rated a 68 overall—tied with 16 other players for the lowest overall rating among the rookie class. But he's rated just two points behind Tennessee guard Dalton Knecht (70 overall), who the Lakers selected in the first round with the No. 17 pick.
Atlanta Hawks rookie Zaccharie Risacher and Washington Wizards big man Alex Sarr—the top two picks of the 2024 draft—are the two highest-rated rookies at 75 overall. For reference, San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama was rated an 84 overall when NBA 2K24 launched last year ahead of his rookie campaign.
