How many minutes will Bronny James get at USC? It’s a big question, given the presence of Collier and Boogie, who will both get starter-level minutes without question. They are the two foremost stars on the team, and they don’t face the health questions Vince Iwuchukwu has been dealing with.
If Bronny wants to get extended minutes — and if USC wants to put Bronny together with Collier and Boogie for prolonged periods of play this upcoming season — it will ultimately depend on Bronny being able to play top-level defense.
Collier and Boogie — maybe also Iwuchukwu — can create plenty of offense when on the floor together. Bronny might need to hit open jumpers when Collier drives and kicks, drawing defenses into the paint and giving Bronny open 3-pointers on the wing, but if he plays elite defense, he will have a place on the floor. Collier and Boogie can handle the scoring load. Bronny, by playing superb defense, will make sure Collier and Boogie don’t have to overextend themselves at the defensive end of the floor. USC will have the roster balance needed to win games in different kinds of ways.
