One of the underlying stories of the current NBA and college season is the development of Bronny James with USC basketball and his likelihood of joining his father LeBron James in the NBA next season. For those not in the know, Bronny was recently removed from ESPN's 2024 mock draft and placed in the 2025 class.
It's not really surprising since Bronny does not start on a regular basis for USC basketball. He has come off the bench in 14 of the 20 games he has played in this season, averaging 5.3 points and 2.8 rebounds per game. He is connecting on 37.4 percent of his shots from the field, 27.5 percent of his shots from beyond the arc and 62.1 percent of his free throws.
The 6-4, 210-pound freshman guard certainly has the bloodlines worthy of going to the NBA, but his production level is questionable.
Nevertheless, LeBron James continues to support his son in his effort to launch his basketball career. The King put out a post on X telling his son to “Stay low and keep firing.” He also added an emoji that referred to his son as “young king.” It comes after the Los Angeles Lakers star went on a rant over his son's removal from ESPN's 2024 mock draft.

It is clear that Bronny James and USC basketball have had a disappointing season. He could return to USC or transfer to another school. He could also opt for the NBA Draft.
LeBron James has made it clear that he wants to play with his son in the NBA. As he prepares to exceed the 40,000-point mark in his NBA career, he continues to perform at an outstanding level at the age of 39. He is averaging 25.3 points and 7.1 assists per game for the 9th-place Lakers.
