NBA Draft deadline tracker 2024: Latest news on Bronny James, Mark Sears, other notable college basketball stars | Sporting News Australia

Must read

Wednesday marks decision day for college basketball players looking to make the jump to the NBA. 

The 2024 NBA Draft is less than a month away. The 30 clubs in the league are gearing up to find their next roster pieces for the future, and prospects are anxiously waiting to hear their fate. Plenty of teams and players have already met, doing due diligence ahead of the selection show. 

Not every prospect currently in the pool of entrants will remain. Wednesday is the final day to remove themselves for draft consideration, as players may elect to instead go back to college for one more year. In the NIL age, that option is more enticing than ever. 

One of the biggest names done with the collegiate scene is Bronny James Jr, the son of Lakers superstar LeBron James. He put his name in for draft eligibility, while also entering the NCAA transfer portal. After debating between the two, he is electing to go the professional route, and there could be plenty of suitors interested in his services, especially considering what selecting Bronny could mean for landing LeBron in free agency
