The L.A. All-Star has two budding young hoops talents.
Bryce James, youngest son of Los Angeles Lakers All-NBA combo forward LeBron James, has been named to the USA Men's Basketball Under 17 Junior National Team.A 6-foot-4 rising senior shooting guard at Sierra Canyon School in Chatsworth, Bryce is seen as a three-star prospect by 247Sports. He is ranked as the 40th best shooting guard in his class, and the 21st-best player, at any position, in the state.
He has already received college offers from Duquesne, where LeBron's former St. Vincent-St. Mary High School teammate X is the newly-hired head coach, and Ohio State, long LeBron's favorite college program. He has also received interest from USC, where older brother Bronny just completed an unhappy one-and-done freshman season as a reserve combo guard.
Bronny has ultimately decided to stay in the draft, and due to LeBron's stated interest in, possibly, playing alongside his son, has rocketed up draft boards in the second round despite averaging just averaging 4.8 points on .366/.267/.676 shooting splits, 2.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 0.8 steals a night across his 25 healthy contests .
On the U17 squad, Bryce is playing alongside the twin sons of another former Laker, Carlos Boozer , Cameron and Cayden.
