The Suns have the No. 22 overall pick in the draft, and he’s under consideration there among a lot of players at 22,’ The Athletic’s Shams Charania said on the Run It Back FanDuel TV show.
‘It’s going to come down to the developmental plan,’ Charania continued, explaining that the 19-year-old guard could be picked in the late first or early second round. ‘It’s going to come down to guaranteed money, whether it’s in the late first-round or in the second-round… There’s only going to be a couple teams – two or three teams – that Bronny James visits and the Lakers and Suns, interestingly, are among the two teams
It’s unclear what Charania meant with his references to a ‘developmental plan’ and ‘guaranteed money.’ First-round picks have a set salary scale over the first four years of their career, while second-round picks have more room to negotiate, albeit typically with diminished leverage.
Interestingly, Charania reports that Bronny received 10 invitations for pre-draft workouts, but will only visit two or three teams, including the Suns and Lakers. Team spokespeople did not immediately return DailyMail.com’s request for confirmation about Bronny’s pre-draft visits.
