Experienced scorer, limited USC role
In the 2024-25 season, Bryce Pope gave USC a veteran wing presence but played a small role, appearing in 14 games and averaging 1.3 points in 6.4 minutes per game. The bigger draw is his track record: at UC San Diego in the 2023-24 season, he started all 33 games and averaged a team-best 18.3 points, showing real shot-making and proven scoring gravity. If you want a polished perimeter scorer with experience, he fits; if you need instant two-way juice, the USC version was more cameo than takeover.
