When Bronny James made his collegiate debut for the USC Trojans back in December 2023, he was expected to become the next big thing in college basketball. Fast forward to March 2024, Bronny has struggled to live up to those extremely high expectations set for him.
The eldest son of LeBron James recent finished the 21st game of his freshman year and he once again failed to impress fans.
Although Bronny had an overall quiet performance during the USC Trojans vs. Washington Huskies matchup, there was one silver lining for him.

Did Bronny James make a mistake by choosing USC?
Unfortunately, one thing that has played a crucial role in Bronny's struggle is head coach Andy Enfield's reluctance to allow the freshman to play extended minutes.
Sure, he was given 13 minutes against the Washington Huskies, but it wasn't enough to allow Bronny James to get off the mark.
Bronny finished the matchup with a scoreless night combined with 3 rebounds and 2 assists. Upon seeing another disappointing game from the 19-year-old, the audience has started to doubt Bronny James' decision to join USC.
Considering the USC guard is no longer projected to be drafted in the 2024 NBA Draft, it certainly opens the discussions about Bronny transferring to a different program next season.
