USC Basketball: How Hoops Heads Feel About Bronny James' NBA Draft Prospects

Where will he get picked?

Freshman USC Trojans combo guard Bronny James may have the best NIL portfolio in all of college sports, but he has yet to set the world ablaze on the hardwood very consistently this season.

He's shown plenty of flashes defensively and even as a distributor, but the former four-star recruit out of Sierra Canyon School in Chatsworth is a bit more raw than even pundits were anticipating.

As the NBA draft slowly but steadily approaches, the question of whether or not Bronny James will even be selected in either round this year has begun circulating on The Social Media Platform Formerly Known As Twitter. His father, 20-time Los Angeles Lakers All-Star forward LeBron James, has made it well known he hopes to play alongside Bronny some day. But is Bronny ready? 

One fan left the caps on:

BRONNY JAMES OVER RATED BRO IS NOT BRON

They weren't the only fan who felt this way:

Nobody is taking him

Perhaps James could be inked as a two-way player, where he to go undrafted?

One fan was probably way too skeptical about Bronny's overall prospects in the league. It's important to remember that he's just begun his college career, which kicked off late because James missed several games while recovering from a cardiac arrest over the summer:

Through 14 contests this season (four starts), James is averaging a modest 5.9 points on a miserable 37.2% field goal shooting, 2.9 rebounds and 2.6 assists a night.
