Bronny, the son of LeBron James impressed in the combine drills, as well as in the second scrimmage where he finished with 13 points.

LeBron had earlier stated that he has a desire to play with his son, but Bronny stressed that it is "never" his dream to play with his father.

Bronny emphasized that he wants to "make a name for himself", and playing alongside his dad is something he hasn't really thought about. He also said he has yet to decide if he will remain in the draft or return to college.

If he does make it to the NBA, Bronny said there are three guys he is emulating—Derrick White, Jrue Holiday, and Davion Mitchell—and that he wants to make an impact on the defensive end.

“Just guys that excel in their role and, you know, get good money and get good playing time from it because they are locked into that role and know what they're supposed to do," Bronny told reporters.

Bronny James played in 25 games in his lone season with USC, averaging 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists.
