LeBron James’ young son, Bryce James, is all set to begin his NCAA career in Arizona.
Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is currently preparing for his 23rd season in the NBA. At the same time, Bronnie James is set to make his second year with the Lakers.
With Lebron and Bronny already playing in the NBA, the next one in line seems none other than the king’s youngest child, Bryce James.
Blythe will be one step closer to realizing his NBA dreams as he spends his freshman year with the Arizona Wildcats.
Playing for the NCAA will help Bryce develop his skills, especially considering he is a three-star recruit coming out of high school.
Meanwhile, even if Bronnie is a five-star recruit, he fell to the 55th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.
But it’s very likely that Blythe will surpass his siblings in the NCAA, so let’s keep it on the backburner. To do this, the 18-year-old needs to keep focused while implementing his father’s advice.
“For me, some of the advice he gave me is probably the same thing you know, obviously, just work hard and you’re coming here and doing what you do best.
“And even if you don’t have it, just make sure you have a good day,” Blythe told Eliab Gabei, H/T House of Highlights.
He added:
As far as Blythe’s future in the NBA is concerned, the best way to get an idea about it is to compare it to what Bronnie did during his college career.
Despite being shorter than his younger brother, Bronnie began his NCAA career as a five-star recruit. Plus, Bronnie has shown significant growth in just one year with the Lakers.
In the 2025 NBA Summer League, Brony was able to see how he grew. But back to Blythe, the only legitimate advantage he has over Bronnie is his height.
Apart from that, Blythe has yet to show any major indications of becoming a superstar in the NBA. Come to think of it, the Lakers could draft him.
However, the Lakers only have their first pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. Unless Blythe makes a big leap into the Wildcats program, even the Lakers may allow an 18-year-old to be undrafted.
