The Cardinal and Gold freshman is hoping to be selected by the second round of this year's draft.
Since declaring for the NBA draft while simultaneously retaining his NCAA eligibility and entering the transfer portal, USC Trojans freshman reserve combo guard Bronny James has been the talk of the NBA town — despite having something of a miserable first collegiate season.
Beyond his health troubles , James struggled to find much of a rhythm on a lackluster 15-18 Trojans squad that missed the NCAA Tournament this year. The 6-foot-4 combo forward out of Sierra Canyon School in Chatsworth averaged just 4.8 points on .366/.267/.676 shooting splits, 2.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 0.8 steals per bout. Expected to be a raw offensive talent with major defensive upside, he instead struggled on both ends , and seemed to be a bit more of a project than had initially been anticipated.
Regardless, it appears that several NBA clubs are still poised to make a run at burning a second round pick on James, in no small part due to his famous parentage. His father, Los Angeles Lakers All-Star combo forward LeBron James, has said in the past that he'd like to play alongside Bronny, and he does possess a $51.4 million player option this summer, meaning he could theoretically sign anywhere to play with his son, which would mark an NBA first.
