USC Basketball: Former LeBron James Team Already Scouting Bronny

Could we see a reunion next season?

Your 8-7 USC Trojans men's basketball team boasts a ton of talent, including freshman guard Bronny James. James made his debut a month ago for the Trojans, and he has started to look more like himself lately. 

He unfortunately suffered a scary cardiac arrest in July, which delayed his start to the season. But thankfully, doctors cleared him to return to the court. 

Bronny has NBA aspirations, and it seems that one team may already be taking a look at him. Long-time NBA analyst Brian Windhorst of ESPN revealed on a recent episode of the Locked On Heat podcast that the Miami Heat are scouting Bronny already. 

"This guy that I know ... sent me a video of Bronny [James] warming up, and right behind him in the first row taking notes is Adam Simon,” Windhorst said. “The Heat are out there doing it." 

Brian Windhorst says that if you're a good player in LA, the Heat will find you:

This has led to much speculation and thought about his father, LeBron James possibly coming back to Miami for his final year. James has talked at length about wanting to play alongside his son in the NBA, and if the Heat were to draft Bronny, it could very well happen.

James has familiarity with the Miami organization, which could see him return. It would be special to see Bronny and his dad on the same team, but it remains to be seen if it will happen.

For Bronny, he just needs to continue growing his game the rest of the way with the Trojans, and good things will happen for him. He is a talented guard, who will likely get an opportunity to be taken in the first round next season.
