    Bronny James Settles Caitlin Clark vs. A'ja Wilson, Sue Bird Debate

    Bronny James and Caitlin Clark are the two biggest names from the 2024 NBA and WNBA drafts, respectively.

    Clark, the former Iowa Hawkeyes sensation, was selected by the Indiana Fever with the No. 1 pick. Bronny was not chosen in the first round but is expected to go to the Los Angeles Lakers with the No. 55 pick so he can play with his father, LeBron James.

    Before Wednesday's NBA draft, Bronny sat down with House of Highlights and played start/bench/cut. He was given three WNBA players to choose from: Clark, Las Vegas Aces star A'ja Wilson, and Seattle Storm legend Sue Bird. Bronny was quick to make his decision.

    "I'm starting Sue. I'm benching A'ja, and I'm cutting Caitlin," Bronny said .

    It's still too soon to tell whether Clark will achieve the same level of success as Wilson and Bird, but all indications suggest she's on track to do so.

    Clark has led the Fever to a 7-11 record. She is averaging 16.3 points, 5.4 rebounds and 6.6 assists, all of which are in the top five among WNBA rookies.

    Both Wilson and Bird have won multiple WNBA championships. The main accolade that separates the two is the WNBA MVP. Wilson has two MVP awards, and Bird has none, but don't let that take away from her Hall of Fame career.

    Despite suffering a cardiac arrest last summer, Bronny still played in his freshman year for the USC Trojans. In 25 games, he averaged 4.8 points, 2.1 assists and 2.8 rebounds. We may see him teaming with LeBron in the near future.
