CHICAGO -- As Bronny James leaned back in his chair and surveyed the swarm of media members that had surrounded him Tuesday night at the NBA Draft Combine, he acknowledged the extra attention that comes with being the son of Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James can be "a lot sometimes."

Yet, the 19-year-old USC guard reiterated Tuesday that his goal was simply to play in the NBA and he was not focused on playing for the same team as his father.

"I would be happy about getting to the league instead of me thinking about playing with my dad," James said Tuesday evening.
