Fifth outing, and fourth defeat for Bronny James, since USC lost 86-70 to Oregon State. The Trojans were given a life-size test this week with their debut in the Pac 12, and it resulted in two defeats. But the good news is that Bronny James has reached a milestone with 15 points on 6 of 11 shots, and 3 assists off the bench.
The staff had decided to give him more playing time, and the son of LeBron James won over with his defense on the man, and his risk-taking in attack. “Bronny is a great player” testifies Boogie EllisUSC's top scorer. “I know that he will create plays, and that he will trigger things. He brings us a lot of energy and he is very good in defense. »
More and more comfortable with each match
What impresses Boogie Ellis is this return to the forefront after almost five months without playing. “To see him come back and play like that after everything he's been through, it's proof that he's very good. I'm happy that he's playing well and that everyone continues to play well with him. »
With 20 minutes of playing time, Bronny James is getting closer to full use, and against Oregon State, he was entitled to two sequences of six minutes or more. A first this season.
“We are more comfortable with the idea of giving him more playing time,” confirmed Andy Enfield, USC coach. “And as long as he can keep that energy, I think he does a really good job.” He seems more and more comfortable with each match.”
