Chatsworth (Calif.) Sierra Canyon three-star shooting guard Bryce James, the youngest son of NBA legend LeBron James, has committed to Arizona.

James is the nation’s No. 204 overall prospect in the 2025 cycle according to the On3 Industry Ranking — a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is the No. 54 shooting guard in the class and the No. 27 recruit in the state of California.

He visited Tucson back in November and is now the second commit in the Wildcats’ 2025 recruiting class, flanking four-star small forward Dwayne Aristode. James chose Tommy Lloyd and Arizona while also holding offers from Ohio State and Duquesne.

James is one of many senior prospects that’s looking to follow an NBA legacy. The 2025 cycle features the likes of Cameron and Cayden Boozer (sons of Carlos Boozer), Kiyan Anthony (son of Carmelo Anthony) and Jermaine O’Neal Jr.

The 6-foot-4, 160-pound James is now set to head to the Big 12. His older brother, Bronny, played at USC and is now on the Los Angeles Lakers’ G League team after opening the season alongside his father. Bryce will turn 18 years old in June.

Bryce James Scouting Summary

On3’s scouting and rankings team writes this about James as a prospect.

“Bryce James continues to get more comfortable in his player archetype. The son of LeBron James has a projectable frame with nice length. Where he shines is spreading the floor, knocking down shots from the corners. He will need to continue adding strength and tightening his handle, there is not much self-creation at this point.

“The jump shot is consistent, finding his balance points off movement or the catch. He has a quick and consistent release. Bryce’s game is different than his brother Bronny’s, who is a more point of attack guard. Bryce has found comfort playing in angles and off the ball.”
