I am sure that someone will draft him because of his father, but also everyone has been talking about how he would be drafted due to his father but the kid isn't that bad himself. He is an nba draft potential player even without his father, maybe early second round at worst case, but he would be drafted if his father wasn't lebron james. It's not about how good he is, sure he is good but also about the fact that there aren't that many players that is better than him that year.
Many players are worse, so if we are talking about 60 players drafted, I do not see 60 better than him players on his generation. Which is why he will most probably be drafted anyway, with Lebron as his father, he will be drafted even higher for sure.
That's what I think too. The name will carry on but he sure does have a skill set to showcase to everyone. I don't think the NBA will miss this chance to see what the son of Lebron could do on the professional league and I am sure there will be teams that will be interested in him. Maybe not a super-max contract player but as long as he is given a shot then he can prove himself to the fans.
Damian Lillard news.
The memo, obtained by Yahoo Sports' Jake Fischer, said Goodwin denied a report that he had warned other teams against trading for Lillard because he wanted to land with the Heat and that he and Lillard both affirmed the player would suit up for any team that trades for him. It also mentioned the relevant teams described their communications as similar to what Goodwin told the league.
Lillard and Goodwin were reportedly warned that any future comments, public or private, suggesting Lillard would only play for the Heat will subject him to NBA discipline. The National Basketball Players Association was also reportedly told similar behavior from any other players or agents could see discipline as well.

Lillard wants to play in Miami, what's the NBA problem with that? I mean, players can choose where they can go as long as the salary cap is there. It is the filter to avoid a lot of superstars in one team, if Miami Heat can pay then or better pay a luxury tax then it's still a win-win for the NBA business.
