Like Maxime Raynaud with Stanford, Bronny James will not participate in March Madness. Thursday night, USC lost heavily to Arizona in the quarterfinals of the Pac-12 tournament, and the Trojans' season is already over. A 21-point defeat, symbol of a failed season for the ambitious University of Southern California.
The question now is whether we will see Bronny again in the NCAA or whether he will enter the Draft. Due to his serious heart condition, he only started his season in December, and his 25 games did not impress the scouts since he finished his freshman season with 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists on average. All at 37% on shots, 27% on 3-pointers and 68% on free throws.
While some imagined him being drafted this year, it is clearly in the realm of utopia.
“It’s up to him to decide” replied LeBron James about the future of his eldest. “It’s up to the kid to choose. Obviously, we will study all the options, and we will let him make his decision. »
For now, it's the biggest mystery for the simple reason that Bronny hasn't spoken to the press since… his first match in December. Thursday, when it was his last match, he did not answer questions from journalists.

The only one to speak out is his agent, Rich Paul. Here's what he said about Bronny's place in the Draft. “I appreciate just as much a young player being selected by a lottery team as integrating him into the right team and in the right situation to train.” Clearly, if Bronny were to be drafted, or recruited by a franchise via a possible “two-way contract”, priority will be given to the training qualities of the coach and staff.
As it stands, nothing prevents LeBron James' son from registering for the 2024 Draft to test his odds, then possibly withdrawing his candidacy if he is made to understand that he is too fair.
