USC Basketball: LeBron James Weighs in On Bronny James' NBA Decision

Former USC freshman Bronny James has yet to decide whether to continue his college career or enter the NBA.

Although he had a rather disappointing freshman season at USC, for a multitude of reasons, there's a high chance Bronny could be a pro player next season.

While his game may not be a hot commodity, his name and what he could possibly come with are. His father, arguably the greatest basketball player of all time, LeBron James, has expressed his desire to play alongside him on the pro level.

LeBron has been very vocal on that front. However, when asked whether the University of Memphis is a possible transfer destination, LeBron said Brony is his own man and will decide when he is ready.

James spent his freshman season at USC averaging 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists on 36.6% shooting from the field.

His freshman season could have been better; however, he showed flashes of his defensive prowess and how he could impact the game without the ball in his hands.

According to Bookies.com, Memphis University is on the list of possible landing spots for the 19-year-old. The NBA has higher odds at +500, tied for second along with Ohio State and Kentucky. The University of Oregon has the highest odds of landing Bronny at +475.

Over the past few months, LeBron has tried not to speak about his son and his possible next move. At the end of the day, it will be on the 19-year-old and whatever he decides, what's best moving forward.

All eyes will be on Bronny in the coming months.
