USC basketball hosted a number of notable NBA players on NBA draft day at the Galen Center. Dalen Terry (Arizona), Chet Holmgren (Gonzaga), Kevin Durant (Texas) and James Harden (ASU) met with USC coaches Will Conroy and Eric Musselman. Conroy put the NBA guys through a workout after USC basketball practice.
There are many recruiting advantages to USC being located in Los Angeles. Highly-prized 2025 five-star recruits Tounde Yessoufou and Brayden Burries were visiting and taking in practice as the NBA players assembled courtside. It never hurts to have two NBA MVPs working out with one of your assistants when you are hosting two elite prospects.
“It’s good for our guys to watch, jump in, work out with them,” Musselman explained after practice. “We’ve had a steady flow of guys almost every day, and the great thing about being in LA is that a lot of these guys have offseason homes here, and certainly we want to open our doors to them.”
