USC guard Bronny James, the son of NBA superstar LeBron James, is declaring for the 2024 NBA Draft, The Athletic reported Friday. James will also enter the NCAA transfer portal, keeping the door open to play his sophomore season.
James, a five-star recruit, appeared in 25 games (six starts) for USC last season. He averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists, while shooting 36.6%/26.7%/67.6% in 19.3 minutes per game in what was his freshman season. The Trojans went 15-18 (8-12 in Pac-12 play), missing the NCAA Tournament.
James will be 20 at the start of the 2024-25 NBA season.
The Los Angeles Lakers, who James has played for since the 2018-19 NBA season, have a second-round selection in the 2024 draft but are devoid of a first-rounder.
