Bronny James’s freshman season with the USC Trojans has officially come to a close, with the team bowing out in the Pac-12 tournament against the No. 1 seed Arizona Wildcats on Thursday night.
James, the eldest son of Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James, faces an uncertain future at USC. He potentially has the opportunity to forgo the remainder of his collegiate career and turn pro in order to join his father in the NBA.
Should he declare for the 2024 NBA draft rather than opt to return for his sophomore year with the Trojans, there are some front-office members who expect teams will be willing to draft him despite a lackluster freshman campaign.
