CHICAGO — The second and final day of scrimmage sessions at the 2024 NBA Draft Combine wrapped-up Wednesday with a bang as Bronny James, Nikola Đurišić and Coleman Hawkins all bounced back from tough days Tuesday in the 5-on-5 portion of action.
James finished tied as the game’s leading scorer in the second of two scrimmages with 13 points in a 90-83 win for Team St. Andrews in front of LeBron James and Savannah James, who made their way to Wintrust Arena and had a front-row seat for the action. Team Love’s Jamal Shead and Trey Alexander also had 13 points each in the loss.
Đurišić was much more comfortable Wednesday than he was Tuesday as he finished with a game-high 12 field-goal attempts and tallied three boards, two assists and one steal to boot. After playing timid in the opening day of scrimmages he played more assertively and made several nice plays, including some live-action passing reads that popped and a smooth lefty floater that found the bottom of the bucket.
Here are four takeaways from the day — leading with the man of the hour in the Windy City.
