He may not have been the highest-rated recruit at the McDonald’s All-American Game, but Sierra Canyon’s Bronny James, the son of Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James, had NBA scouts and executives all watching Tuesday night. 

This game isn’t like the NBA All-Star Game, heavy on alley-oops and flashy dunks. Instead, prospects are trying to impress their hopeful future employer during practices and a scrimmage before the game. 

James was a player some felt didn’t match up with the others in this year’s class. He’s the 35th-ranked player in the class of 2023, and only 24 players are selected to compete.

His father, on the other hand, was the top recruit and eventual first overall pick in 2003 after his McDonald’s All-American Game. 

Twenty years later, scouts may not see another "Chosen One," but they say Bronny has NBA game.

"He plays the right way and has a 3-point game that translates. With all the scrutiny he faces, he seems like a good kid and someone players like playing with," one NBA scout told Yahoo Sports about James, who finished Tuesday night’s game with 15 points after going 5 of 8 from three-point land. His West squad fell 109-106 to the East. 

The practices are usually where scouts and execs like to see the players compete through drills, whether it’s full 5-on-5 or 1-on-1 scenarios.
