Bronny James, a former USC Trojans reserve combo guard who is not guaranteed to be selected in this summer’s upcoming 2024 NBA Draft, is making waves at the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago this week.

According to Joseph Zucker of Bleacher Report, the 19-year-old Sierra Canyon School product measured 6-foot-1-and-a-half without shoes, despite being listed as 6-foot-4.

 However, that is the only negative news of the day.

James, the eldest son of Los Angeles Lakers All-Star forward LeBron James, posted a stunning 40.5-inch vertical, the fourth-best of any Draft Combine hopeful this year, according to Joe Doerrer of Strictly Basketball.

But that was only a prelude to the strangest surprise of the day Monday. James made 12 consecutive three-pointers at one point and 19-of-25 overall during a three-point shooting drill, according to CBS Sports’ Cameron Salerno.

 During his underwhelming stint as a backup on a bad USC team that finished the year with a 15-18 record and missed the postseason entirely, James was a terrible shooter from pretty much anywhere.

In 25 healthy games for the Trojans (six starts), James averaged 4.8 points on a.366/.267/.676 shooting line, 2.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 0.8 steals per game. His 26.7 percent three-point conversion rate on 2.4 attempts certainly did not foreshadow such a significant performance at the professional level. Of course, nailing a bunch of treys without being defended by anyone appears to be significantly easier than doing so with, say, Anthony Edwards draped all over you.

However, Cardinal and Gold fans will undoubtedly root for James to succeed in his professional career. And this is a good sign that he may still have some upside.
