Anonymous NBA executives believe that a return to college would be helpful for USC guard Bronny James, who just completed his first collegiate season.

"If he goes back, I think he'll have a better year, because hopefully his health is fully stabilized and he can have a full year of training and focus, and maybe the expectations are lowered so he can just play," one exec said in part to ESPN's Jeremy Woo, who spoke with three anonymous NBA front office members about James' pro future. "I think that could be really helpful."

James, the son of Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James, valiantly overcame significant hardship just to play this season after he suffered cardiac arrest during a July 24 workout at USC.
