It may or may not include next year’s term draft USC Brunei bodyguard James Son Lakers straight ahead LeBron James. However, that didn’t stop speculation about where James would be drafted if he took the only route with the Trojans.

“Bronnie James is the 17th expected player in our test class tomorrow,” said Giffoni. “He has a very high ground because of his brain, his defensive instincts, he can make players off the jump, his feeling about the game, his competitiveness…Bronnie James is as refined a player as any in this class.”
Giffoni notes that “the sky’s the limit” to James and declares that he can develop into a lottery pick.
