Bronny James' Sierra Canyon career stats: Looking at his performance after last high-school game

Bronny James has officially put an end to one of the most talked-about high school sports careers in recent history. The son of NBA legend LeBron James played his final high school game as his team Sierra Canyon suffered an 80-61 loss at the hands of Sherman Oaks Notre Dame to get knocked out of the playoffs.

During Bronny's four years of high school, Sierra Canyon held a record of 95-22 overall but fell short of a state title. He scored just 10 points in the final game of his career, below his season average of 14.2 points. James has also averaged 5.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.8 steals per game.

While there have been eyes on Bronny James since well before he established himself as a high-level high-school prospect, he has shown impressive growth throughout the season.

James has climbed to the 28th-ranked prospect in the recruiting class according to ESPN. Both ESPN and 247Sports still have him rated as a four-star prospect, while On3 has upgraded him to a five-star prospect and made him the ninth-ranked recruit in the class.

What's Next for Bronny James?

With his high school career now behind him, the focus will rapidly shift to what is next for Bronny James.

He remains uncommitted for next season with reports indicating that he wanted to wait until after the season was over to make his announcement. James had offers from numerous prestigious basketball schools but has narrowed his search to his top three choices, Ohio State, USC, and Oregon.

Bronny could also be only a year away from being drafted. LeBron has been vocal about his desire to share the floor in the NBA with his sons. This dream could become a reality if Bronny can prove himself at the college level for a season before making the NBA leap. LeBron has never been shy about hyping up his son and has been active on Twitter in doing so lately.

Man Bronny definitely better than some of these cats I've been watching on league pass today. Shit lightweight hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣

While Bronny may not fill the box score or create highlights in a way many hope for in a top prospect, all indications are he is on track for a first-round draft label when the time comes.

He has an advanced ability on the defensive side of the ball with ESPN's Jonathan Givony comparing him to 76ers' standout wing De'Anthony Melton. James' ability as a three-and-D role player is a great fit for the modern NBA.

First though, it has to be seen where he elects to take his talents at the collegiate level. With no set timeline other than after his high school season ends, it will be up to James to decide when he wants to break the news. Expect this to come sooner rather than later as more pieces of the recruiting puzzle fall into place, with James being a key figure in this.
