Bronny James has a lot of fans and admirers as he heads to USC. Former Trojan basketball great DeMar DeRozan is one of them.
In an extensive story from ESPN’s Myron Medcalf, DeRozan’s comments on Bronny became part of the larger picture surrounding the most famous USC basketball player on the 2023-2024 roster.
“With the attention, however, will come an intentional approach from school officials, local police and private security personnel to ensure that the 18-year-old is free — and safe — to enjoy his on-campus experience. At USC, Bronny will join a class that includes the children of dignitaries, actors and actresses, politicians and athletes. In college basketball, however, he will be a prince, drawing a crowd wherever he goes.
“‘Basketball-wise, you just need that big name to come there and bring that attention, and he’s the perfect person for that,’ Chicago Bulls star DeMar DeRozan, a former USC standout, said recently on Paul George’s “Podcast P” podcast. ‘I think the way he comes in, the way he’ll handle it and the attention he’s going to bring, I think it’s going to push USC to another level that we haven’t seen.'”
USC fans hope DeRozan’s words come true.
