The 2024 NBA Draft is upon us and the most recited name is a 6-foot-1 guard who averaged 4.8 points, 2.1 assists and 2.8 rebounds as mostly a bench player for a 15-18 USC team. If anything it was a triumph considering last fall James went into cardiac arrest after a preseason workout. No one knew if he’d play again.

When it comes to NBA potential, though, his game doesn’t do much to excite fans. A good defender and high character guy? Cool, but he’s projected to go in the second round mainly because his father's team, the Los Angeles Lakers, owns the 55th overall pick.
