Bronny James, a former USC Trojans reserve guard known for his versatility, is currently making a splash at the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago, despite uncertainties about his selection in the upcoming 2024 NBA Draft.
Even though he’s listed as 6-foot-4, measurements revealed he stands at 6-foot-1-and-a-half without shoes, as reported by Joseph Zucker of Bleacher Report. However, this minor setback aside, the day brings positive news.
James, the eldest son of LeBron James, the renowned All-Star forward for the Los Angeles Lakers, showcased an impressive 40.5-inch vertical leap, ranking fourth among all hopefuls at the Combine this year, according to Joe Doerrer of Strictly BBall:

But that was just an appetizer for the strangest surprise of the day Monday. James made 12 straight three point shots at one point, and 19-of-25 overall, during a three point shooting drill, per Cameron Salerno of CBS Sports.
Behold his momentous tear below:
James was a horrible shooter from, well, basically anywhere during his underwhelming stint as a backup on a bad USC team, which finished the year with a 15-18 record and missed the postseason entirely.
In his 25 healthy contests for the Trojans (six starts), James averaged just 4.8 points on a patchy .366/.267/.676 shooting line, 2.8 rebounds, 2.1 dimes and 0.8 steals a night. His 26.7 percent three point conversion rate, on 2.4 attempts, certainly didn’t presage such an impactful performance at the pro level. Of course, nailing a bunch of treys without being defended by anybody figures to be markedly easier than doing so with, say, Anthony Edwards draped all over you.
But Cardinal and Gold fans are no doubt rooting for James to excel as he makes his way to the pros. And this at least is a positive sign that he may have some upside yet.
