At 4 a.m. Beijing time on June 28, the 2024 NBA Draft continued, and today is the second round of the draft. There are two players to keep an eye on: Chinese teenager Cui Yongxi and James' eldest son Bronny. With the Suns and 76ers each fined one second-round pick, there are only 28 second-round picks in this year's second-round draft.

Ahead of today's election, there are a few second-round deals:

1. The Timberwolves sent Wendell Moore and the No. 37 pick to the Pistons in exchange for the No. 53 pick; 2. The Warriors sent the No. 52 pick to the Thunder in exchange for Lindy Waters; 3. The Kings sent the No. 45 pick to the Raptors with the Michael + Vezinkov + No. 45 pick in exchange for Jalen McDaniels; 4. The Hawks sent AJ Griffin to the Rockets in exchange for the No. 44 pick.

Since this is the second round of the draft, let's not talk about them one by one, but choose a few key picks: the Raptors' No. 31 pick to select Jonathan Mobo; The Jazz selected Filippowski, a 2.11-meter-tall center, who was drafted into the first round of the Green House by the No. 32 pick; The Bucks' No. 33 pick selected Tyler Smith, who is 2.06 meters tall and comes from the power forward of the Ignite team.

The second-round draft was more inked than the first, and only three were selected in 30 minutes. The Trail Blazers drafted Tyler Colek with the No. 34 pick and then traded to the Knicks for three future second-round picks. The Spurs selected Johnny Foffey with the 35th pick and then traded to the Pacers in exchange for Spanish point guard Juan Nunez with the 36th pick and cash compensation.

The dust has settled! The Lakers selected Bronny with the 55th pick, and James father and son teamed up. Bob Myers, former Warriors general manager and current ESPN commentator, revealed that Rich Paul has warned other teams not to pick Bronny or Bronny will play in Australia. China's Cui Yongxi was not drafted in the second round and was officially defeated.

Brownie was born on October 6, 2004, is 1.87 meters tall, has an arm span of 2.01 meters and weighs 95 kilograms. The length of the hand is 21.6 cm, the width of the hand is 24.1 cm, the height of the standing touch is 2.50 meters, and the running and jumping is 1.03 meters. In the NBA joint trial matchup, Bronny scored 4 points, 4 rebounds and 3 turnovers on 2-of-8 in his debut, and 13 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists on 4-of-10 shooting in the second game.

Bronny isn't young, and many of this year's first-round picks were players born in 2005. Looking at the data, this season in the NCAA, Bronny averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.1 turnovers per game, and the three-point shooting percentage: 36.6%, 26.7%, 67.6%. This summer, he only tried out for the Suns and Lakers.

In addition, Bronny's heart problems were also the reason why other teams abandoned the selection. In July 2023, Brownie suffered a cardiac arrest during training, but fortunately he was sent to the hospital in time, after which Brownie underwent surgery to treat a congenital heart defect! More than four months later, on December 11, 2023, Bronny officially returned to make his NCAA debut.

Bronny had heart surgery, was able to return to the college game, and was drafted by an NBA team. Do you think he can play in the NBA? Next, let's talk about Chinese player Cui Yongxi, who was born on May 28, 2003, is 2 meters tall, has an arm span of 2.06 meters, weighs 92kg, and runs a vertical jump of 90.17cm.

In the 2023-24 season, Choi Yong-hee averaged 15.7 points, 6 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.7 steals per game in the CBA, with a three-point shooting rate: 45.5%, 36.4%, and 78.6%. Compared with averaging 11.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2 steals per game in his rookie season, Choi Jr. has improved slightly this season. In the offseason, he flew to the United States for special training in preparation for the NBA draft.

Before the draft, Choi Yong-hee conducted a trial for 6 teams, and the first stop was to try out the Nets, and Choi Jr. performed the best. Unfortunately, he was not selected in the end. After this summer's special training and trial training, I believe that Cui Yongxi has improved a lot and realized the gap. Keep up the good work, young man!
