Bronny James Drafted Despite Middling Freshman Season
Star Prospect Averaged 142 Points Per Game in High School
Despite Struggles at USC, Lakers Select Bronny with No. pick
Bronny James, the eldest son of NBA legend LeBron James, was drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the 2024 NBA Draft, despite a middling freshman season at the University of Southern California.
In his lone season with the Trojans, Bronny averaged 48 points, 55 rebounds, 24 assists, and 18 steals per game. However, he struggled to impact winning, as USC finished with a disappointing 12-20 record.
Despite his struggles at the collegiate level, James' potential remains undeniable. As a senior at Sierra Canyon High School in California, he averaged 142 points, 55 rebounds, 24 assists, and 18 steals per game, leading his team to a state championship.
The Lakers are hoping that James can develop into a star player in the NBA. He has the size, athleticism, and skillset to be a productive player on both ends of the floor.
