Midway through the first half of USC’s 82–74 win against Cal on Wednesday, Bronny James, the Trojans celebrated freshman, delivered the first highlight. Following a steal by Isaiah Collier, James sprinted out in transition. From just outside the three-point line, Collier flipped a pass towards the rim which James collected in midair, throwing down a two-handed slam.
Five months after a near-tragic cardiac incident, James, 19, continues to round back into form. Last Saturday, James scored a season-high 15 points in a loss to Oregon State. On Wednesday, James, the oldest son of Lakers star LeBron James, chipped in 10 points on 4-for-6 shooting, adding three assists.
“He’s developing as a player,” said USC coach Andy Enfield. “It’s nice to see, nice to watch.”
