Scouts and analysts were also impressed by James’s shooting skills. While practicing shooting three-pointers, he skillfully made 12 shots in a row and ended up with a total of 19 out of 25. His shooting performance was notable considering his difficulties shooting three-pointers while playing at USC, where he only made 26.7 percent of his attempts from beyond the arc.
While playing for the Trojans, James made modest contributions, averaging 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game. The obstacles James encountered in his college career were emphasized by USC’s underwhelming season, culminating in a 15-18 record and no participation in postseason games.
