The Golden State Warriors considered taking Bronny James at No. 52, sources tell ESPN's Ramona Shelburne. The Warriors liked Bronny's skill set and had him on their draft board.

The Warriors ultimately decided to respect the wishes of LeBron James that Bronny fall to the Los Angeles Lakers' selection at No. 55. The Warriors also had interest in trading for LeBron James ahead of last season's trade deadline.

As the second round of the NBA draft began in June, Rich Paul reportedly told teams interested in selecting Bronny James not to pick him and that he would play the 24-25 season in Australia if they did.

Bronny James is on a standard NBA contract with the Lakers.
