Bronny James Review

Bronny was rated higher than Bryce at the same age. According to the RSCI rankings, Bronny was the 17th most talented player in his generation. He was highly regarded for his shooting ability and especially his defense. Defensive skills were a highlight that LeBron’s eldest son showed since his high school days at Sierra Canyon.

Bronny was not a skilled offensive player like his father. He was a point guard who tended to distribute the ball and create for his teammates. Bronny’s physicality at that time was comparable to some players in the NBA.

However, Bronny’s development was slowed down after a health incident last year. He suffered a cardiac arrest before the start of the season. After returning, Bronny was unable to find his best form. He averaged just 4.8 points per game on 36.6% shooting and 26.7% from the 3-point line. That poor performance significantly reduced Bronny’s chances of reaching the NBA.

Bronny is considered a “3&D” player (3-point shooting and defense), however, his height of 1m86 is an obstacle that prevents him from guarding the “big men” of his opponents. His ineffective shooting ability is also a problem that makes many scouts not rate Bronny too highly.

Despite those concerns, Bronny still has a chance to be selected because of what he showed in high school. However, Bronny’s position in the 2024 NBA Draft will be low, only in the late second round.

Review of Bryce James

Bryce just finished his third year at Sierra Canyon as a point guard. Scouts rate Bryce just three stars out of five. 247 Sports rates him the 148th-ranked prospect in his class. ESPN has him as the 22nd-ranked prospect in the state of California and outside the top 100 nationally.

Bronny was often in the top 50 of his age group, while Bryce was much weaker. He was not as physically fit as his brother, but he was considered better suited to the NBA. Bryce was still young and needed time to fully develop his body. Starting in high school, Bryce began to develop rapidly, both technically and physically. Bryce had good matches against top players in his age group, most notably Cameron Boozer, the second-best prospect in the class of 2007.

Playing as a shooting guard, Bryce is capable of making three-point shots with great efficiency. He is a good three-point shooter and also a good defender. Bryce has many ways to create shooting opportunities for himself and his teammates. At 6’3”, Bryce also fits the NBA’s physical requirements better than Bronny, who is only 6’1”.

When comparing the two brothers, Bronny is the one with a greater chance of making it to the NBA. However, Bryce is the player with more potential, his skill set has more room to develop than his brother. However, Bryce needs to work very hard to develop to his potential.
