At 17 years old, Bryce, a 6′6″ shooting guard, shared the news on his Instagram account with a photo of himself wearing his future team’s uniform.

In addition, Bryce added the message "100% committed." This decision marks a new chapter in Bryce's journey, who currently plays for Sierra Canyon High School, a school known for developing outstanding talents. Although he had offers from other institutions such as Ohio State and Duquesne, Bryce chose Arizona.

Bryce James, the youngest son of LeBron James, has already chosen his university

Bryce's arrival in Arizona will put him under the guidance of Tommy Lloyd, a coach known for developing young basketball prospects. The question everyone is asking is whether Bryce will arrive in time to share the court with his father in the NBA, a dream that LeBron has already fulfilled with his eldest son, Bronny James.

Bryce will be eligible for the NBA Draft in 2026, a date that poses a complicated scenario, as LeBron, at 40 years old, has hinted that his retirement could be closer than ever, although he does not rule out continuing to play if circumstances allow it.

LeBron and Bronny made history in 2024 by becoming the first father-son duo to debut together in a regular season NBA game with the Lakers. However, Bronny's journey has not been without challenges, such as the heart attack that limited his playing time before being selected in the 2024 Draft.

The James family could have even more presence in the NBA

Regarding Bryce, his playing style differs from that of his older brother. He stands out for his shooting ability and his capacity to score from different points on the court, attributes that his father has publicly praised. However, he still needs to work on his physical condition and his ability to create plays.

If LeBron decides to extend his career until 2026, it wouldn't be far-fetched to imagine him facing off against or even playing alongside Bryce in the NBA. Although James has indicated that he doesn't plan on extending his time in the league for several more years, his love for the game and his family could make him reconsider.
