Bronny James joined the USC Trojans

In anticipation of his arrival in the NBA, as he is the eldest son of LeBron James, Bronny James committed to suit up for the USC Trojans for college basketball.

Entering his freshman year, he is the sixth-ranked point guard in the class of 2023.

According to 247 Sports' Adam Finkelstein, James is viewed as an interesting prospect with his two-way ability on the court. His maturity on the court with his IQ is commendable as he can make excellent reads at the half-court similar to his father. James is also a quality shooter from 3-point range and is even lethal in transition with his speed and strength.

In a Fan Nation's "Buckeyes Now" article from Casey Smith, an Ohio State Buckeyes recruiting agent gave praise to James' excellent outing at the McDonald's All-American game.

"Bronny won't get drafted because he's LeBron's kid," the recruiting agent said. "He'll get drafted because he's an NBA player. He works hard, goes about his business, and is tough."

James posted 15 points (5-of-8 from 3-point range) and four assists.

Amongst the likes of Matas Buzelis, Ron Holland, Isaiah Collier, Justin Edwards, and Aday Mara, James is part of a quality draft pool. He is expected to be selected in the top 30 in the first round of the 2024 NBA Draft.
