Bronny James in college
James had one year in college basketball as predicted. But instead of dominating like he did during his high school career, he struggled.
Part of this was not his fault. During a training session before the season began, he suffered a cardiac arrest. When he was declared healthy and fit to play, James was not the star player that he was during high school.
He scored an average of 4.8 points per game and two assists per game on average. His best performance came during the Trojans' defeat to the Oregon State Beavers, where James scored 15 points.
Performances like this were rare for Bronny, who spent most of the season scoring single-digit numbers. These figures may be why college basketball fans do not think that James should be playing in the NBA.
Do you think that James will be drafted by an NBA team in the upcoming draft, or will no team want to sign him?
