There could be a reality where three generations of the James family hit the NBA court at the same time. While LeBron James and Bronny James became the first father-son duo to share the court with one another, the youngest James is gearing up for his collegiate career.

Bryce James, the youngest son, has officially committed to Arizona. According to a report from 247sports:
"Arizona has received a commitment from Chatsworth (Calif.) Sierra Canyon shooting guard Bryce James. The 2025 prospect chose the Wildcats over offers from Duquesne and Ohio State among others and is the son of Lebron James.
Sources tell WildcatAuthority.com that one of the main reasons why James was drawn to Arizona is Tommy Lloyd's ability to develop players and his patience with that process. James recently took an unofficial to Arizona and came away impressed with the overall campus and approach of the program."
Bryce offered his commitment to Arizona over Ohio State and Duquesne, which had heavily been pursuing the youngest James. The shooting guard has been revealed to be a bigger version of older brother, Bronny, and one who is a "fundamentally sound player."
"Physically, Bryce is a bit bigger than his older brother at the same age," 247Sports National Analyst Eric Bossi writes. "While Bronny recently measured a little under 6-foot-2 without shoes at May's NBA Draft Combine, Bryce measured in two inches taller (again without shoes) during June at USA Basketball's 17U National team trials. Bryce also weighed in at a solid 190 pounds and has proven to be an athletic lob catcher."
Bryce is ranked 18th in California, and will likely be under the same microscope as Bronny was. However, he might not follow the same path. Bronny spent one season with the USC Trojans and was drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers in the second round.
Bronny and LeBron made history in the NBA, but Bronny has spent most of his time playing in the G League with the South Bay Lakers.
There is no telling how long it will take Bryce to make his way from the collegiate level to the professional level, but he now has a chance to develop at Arizona under head coach Tommy Lloyd.
Lloyd is known for developing young players, and he can now mold Bryce into a solid shooting guard who can be ready for the pros when that day comes. Time will tell if LeBron sticks around the league to play with both of his sons.
