Another of LeBron James’ sons is in the news. It is the youngest, Bryce, who on Wednesday announced his commitment to play with the University of Arizona.
The 17-year-old had offers from Duquesne and Ohio State among other college programs. He had also visited Notre Dame and USC, where his older brother, Bronny, played one season. One of the aspects that made him choose the Wildcats is the presence of Tommy Lloyd, a coach who specializes in player development.
Bryce can play shooting guard and small forward and his height is a matter of debate after a growth spurt he has had in recent months. He is said to be 1.98 meters tall, almost 10 centimeters taller than his brother Bronny, who has made his debut with the Lakers this season under criticism for having done so because he is LeBron’s son.
During his high school years, Bryce played for Sierra Canyon High School, where he stayed until transferring to Campbell Hall and then to Notre Dame High before returning to Sierra Canyon in November 2023.
Bryce, who has long shared an agency with his father, will also be closely watched and will have to endure the scrutiny of fans because of his surname. At just 17 years of age, it is difficult to predict a career for him, but specialists predict a brighter future for him than for Bronny.
