Utah Jazz are eyeing a potential move that could shake up their roster, with a Yahoo Sports report indicating they're considering bringing Bronny James in for an individual workout and possibly drafting him with the 32nd pick.

NBA draft analyst Krysten Peek suggests that this move aligns with the Jazz's strategy of patient rebuilding under Danny Ainge's guidance.

There's a strategic angle, too -- it's speculated that by adding Bronny, the son of basketball legend LeBron James, the Jazz might increase their chances of attracting LeBron himself in the future, injecting some star power into the team.

Bronny James, who had a brief stint at USC, is making waves despite his relatively modest college stats of 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game.

His journey faced a significant setback when he suffered a cardiac arrest during practice at USC last July. However, after receiving medical clearance from the NBA, he's now poised to enter the upcoming draft.

Bronny is currently showcasing his skills in the NBA Draft Combine, and although his performance in the scrimmages was somewhat mixed with 4 and 13 points, respectively, he's undoubtedly drawing attention as a prospect.
