Bronny James’ first start of his college career didn’t go the way he would’ve liked. The USC freshman went scoreless in the Trojans’ 68-58 loss to Colorado Saturday night, missing all seven of his field goal attempts. James had a pair of double-digit performances early on in conference play, scoring 15 against Oregon State and 10 against Cal, but he had just two points against Stanford and didn’t score against Washington State on Wednesday. His struggles continued into Saturday’s matchup.
USC is looking to get more from its freshman moving forward, and James is certainly hoping to get out of the scoring rut soon.

I like Bronny James game a lot but he is playing way to safe. People are going to try and go at him every night so he’s got to be willing it go at their heads. You can tell he’s scared of making a mistake. #USC #CollegeBasketball #Trojans

Bronny 0-7 tonight 0-3 behind the arc. Feeling bad for the guy, expectations are killing him.

Anyone who thinks Bronny is even close to NBA ready is delusional. Kid needs at least another year in college

Bronny hasn’t been the same since LeBron said he could easily play on the Lakers right now.
This is his 3rd game in a row not being able to score a single basket. His jumpers been really off and he’s playing scared.

Bronny needs some time

glad he’s good and healthy but i just haven’t seen anything recently that screams 1st rounder in bronny.
USC is off to a shaky 8-9 start to the season and is now 2-4 in conference play after losing to Colorado on Saturday. As James continues to find his footing in college basketball — which he will need to do if he wants to find his way on an NBA roster — the Trojans will look to get back on track on Wednesday against Arizona.
