Bryce James, the son of LeBron James, is approaching his first NCAA Tournament.
However, he’ll have to wait before playing. Bryce, a freshman for No. 1 seed Arizona, will not play during March Madness as he is redshirting this season to focus on his development. That means the 6-foot-5 guard will finish his first college season without a game appearance.
James’ Development Focus
It’s not entirely surprising James is taking his time to develop. He was a three-star recruit out of Sierra Canyon, where brother Bronny James also attended. 247Sports’ Adam Finkelstein noted in 2023 he was “far from a finished product” physically.
Arizona’s Championship Aspirations
The show goes on for Arizona, though, with the Wildcats having serious championship aspirations. They are the No. 1 seed in the West Region and are riding the momentum of beating fellow top seed Houston in the Big 12 Championship Game.
