After a difficult first year in the NCAA with USC, there could be a change for Bronny James. In recent hours, rumors about the registration of LeBron James' son in the transfer “portal” have intensified, following a tweet from journalist Dick Weiss, a specialist in college basketball.
The latter subsequently withdrew his message, explaining “cannot confirm the information”adding however that such a change of direction “ would make sense » if it were to happen.
Enough to invite the subject into the post-match discussion following the Lakers' match against Raptors (128-111 victory). Asked about his son's future, LeBron James appeared surprised at first, but did not quell the rumors. “ I don't know where this information comes from, but at the end of the day, Bronny is independent. He has some tough decisions to make, and when he's ready to make those choices, he'll let you know. As a family, we cheer for him no matter what he does. »
The Draft track rather than an immediate transfer?
Highly anticipated for his first steps in the NCAA, Bronny James suffered a cardiac arrest, which frightened everyone, before logically postponing his debut.
The guard subsequently did not really shine (4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists on average) within the very disappointing Trojans with a negative record (15 wins for 18 losses) and an absence at “March Madness”. . Coach Andy Enfield has since left his post to join South Methodist.
Besides a change of creamery, another path for Bronny James would be to try his luck during the Draft to test his rating, as his agent Rich Paul had mentioned. Luca Evans, who follows USC for the Orange County Register, confirmed these last few hours that a “ A source with knowledge of the situation told me it was more likely Bronny would prepare for the draft than be traded.“
