It is a unique draft class when two of the most popular players were drafted way outside the lottery. Yuki Kawamura<\/a> was not even drafted, and Bronny James<\/a> went 55th overall. But these two seem to be the most popular players in the draft.<\/p>\n

While they do not have a chance to win Rookie of the Year, they surely bring plenty of attention to their respected teams. Yuki is just the fourth Japanese player in the NBA, and Bronny is the son of LeBron James<\/a>, one of the greatest players in the history of the game.<\/p>\n

Yuki Kawamura Might Be More Popular than Bronny James<\/h2>\n

Bronny and Yuki had two of the loudest roars this season when they entered the game. Some might say there was not this much anticipation and excitement around lottery picks.<\/p>\n

Bronny made history<\/a> in the first game of the season the Lakers played when he checked in the second quarter alongside his father.<\/p>\n

And a few days later, it seemed like Yuki had one of the loudest roars for a rookie. At the end of the Memphis Grizzlies \u2013 Orlando Magic game, fans began chanting \u201cWe Want Yuki!\u201d With only two minutes left and the Grizzlies leading by more than 20 points, Yuki got his NBA debut. From that moment on, the crowd went crazy.<\/p>\n
