Will the Trojans reserve combo guard, who had an underwhelming college tenure, get selected in the second round?
USC Trojans reserve combo guard Bronny James may have posted a disappointing freshman season in 2023-24 for the 15-18 Cardinal and Gold, but that didn't stop him from declaring for the NBA draft , along with starrier Trojans guards Isaiah Collier and Boogie Ellis.
Although his on-court production may not peg him from draft glory per se , his pedigree as the son of one of the greatest basketball players ever, current Los Angeles Lakers All-Star forward LeBron James, could help him secure gainful pro employment at the NBA level nevertheless., The Ringer's Bill Simmons speculated that Bronny James will, in fact, get selected in this summer's NBA draft, after all.
"Will a team draft Bronny James to go after LeBron?" Simmons wondered."This was the subject of a lot of texts this week. Bronny did not have a good freshman season. That is an understatement. He was not one of the closing five guys on a USC team that I think finished under .500 and was in a bad conference and was just not good a basketball team. It's hard to fathom that he'd be one of the 58 players drafted...
"And I'd think it would have to be a contender," Simmons said."I think he's going to get drafted, even if he is not one of the best 58 guys in the draft." "Yeah, the real conversation is how high will a team select him without assurances?" Russillo wondered in return."And I still don't think wants to leave LA. I think the next chapter for LeBron is that he still would need to be in LA... If you're telling me, hey, would a second round team not know and say, 'Want to just give it a shot?' Yeah absolutely, I think he could get drafted, especially with teams that have multiple second round picks...
