Four-star combo guard Bronny James has still not announced his plans for next season, but no matter where he plays, he’s not expected to stay there long.

James has been projected to enter the 2024 NBA Draft for some time now, and in ESPN’s latest 2024 mock draft, analyst Jonathan Givony has pegged LeBron’s oldest son as a top-10 pick.

While some may be surprised to see James slotted that high–he’s the No. 33 player in his high school class–Givony says the 6-foot-3 Sierra Canyon standout is “arguably the best perimeter defender” in the 2023 cycle and has also improved offensively. 

“As most of his peers have flatlined the past 12 to 18 months, James has grown, filled out his frame, found another gear with his explosiveness and become an absolute terror off the ball defensively thanks to his outstanding intensity and feel for the game,” Givony writes. “He still has plenty of room to improve his ballhandling and pull-up jumper to become a more prolific and efficient shot creator, but he has already caught the eyes of NBA decision-makers with the way he contributes to winning and likely will continue to grow and fill out his game.”

The entire 2024 mock draft, complete with additional analysis from Givony, is behind a paywall and can be seen here.

James is reportedly going to announce a decision on his future sometime after his high school season ends. Last month, it was reported that he is still considering USC and Oregon, and possibly Ohio State.
