In what is a weaker draft class than recent years, Bronny has been the biggest storyline thanks to his last name.
LeBron James has been by his sons side as the draft draws nearer, and the two got shots up together in New York City to prep for the big day.
Chris Joseph Brickley, their trainer in NYC, shared videos of the star father and son duo working out.
“@bronny is ready to bring value to an NBA Team!” he captioned the video.
“@kingjames Always a blessing to work with you my guy! Appreciate you more than you know.”
Bronny hasn’t met with many teams ahead of the draft, with his agent holding him to workouts with the Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Lakers.
Rich Paul, CEO of Klutch Sports Group, said it is by design that Bronny is keeping his workouts limited.
“This is nothing new,” Paul said.
“The goal is to find a team that values your guy and try to push him to get there.
“It’s important to understand the context and realize that this has always been the strategy with many of my clients throughout the years, especially those in need of development like Bronny. My stuff is by design.”

Paul has used a similar strategy for former clients who have been selected highly in the NBA Draft.
MarJon Beauchamp and Darius Garland were both first rounders who were protected from workouts and medical information.
Those strategies are now prohibited by the NBA, but they show how willing Paul is to limit his clients.
“Bronny is the same as my previous clients,” Paul said.
“I got the word out early to teams that if you plan on bringing Bronny in, here’s what you need to know: If you won’t give him a real deal, there’s nothing to talk about.
“It’s hard to get real development on a two-way deal
“I don’t care about him going to the Lakers, or Phoenix, or about what number he gets picked. It’s about fit.
“If Bronny’s name was Charles Jacobsen and he was my client, I would do the same thing: identify teams that have real interest.”
The Los Angeles Lakers are the overwhelming favorites to pick Bronny with their second round selection.
