Bronny James

The eldest son of LeBron James, Bronny averaged 14.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.8 steals as a senior for Sierra Canyon in California and was a consensus four-star recruit. He was a McDonald's All-American and played in the Jordan Brand Classic and Nike Hoop Summit in 2023. He committed to USC, but at a practice in July ahead of his freshman season, James collapsed after experiencing cardiac arrest caused by a congenital heart defect. He was released from the hospital a few days later and ultimately got some action for the Trojans after missing the first eight games of the 2023-24 campaign. James averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 0.8 steals in 19.4 minutes across 25 appearances (six starts) while shooting 36.6% overall, 26.7% on 3-pointers and 67.6% on free throws. He improved his draft stock with a stellar shooting display at the combine. James excels in catch-and-shoot situations and shows great energy and instincts on defense. At 6-foot-2, he lacks size at the NBA level, but his athleticism is considered elite. James can handle the ball and is a willing passer but isn't a true point guard. James projects to be a 3-and-D player at the NBA level, drawing comparisons to De'Anthony Melton. However, given his lack of experience in college, James may need to develop in the NBA G League. James' defensive prowess has drawn comparisons to Patrick Beverley and Jrue Holiday, too.
