Bryce James Katie Goodale / USA TODAY NETWORK

Bryce James, son of NBA superstar LeBron James, is one of the most highly scrutinized high school basketball players in the nation right now.

Up to this point, his older brother Bronny shielded Bryce from a lot of the headlines. With Bronny heading to USC next year, though, it’s Bryce’s turn to take over at the high school level.

This past week Bryce was a participant at Nike’s Peach Jam tournament in South Carolina. It was a big deal, with seven NBA teams sending scouts to watch him.

According to Krysten Peek of Yahoo Sports, the Los Angeles Lakers, Orlando Magic, Cleveland Cavaliers, Dallas Mavericks, New York Knicks, Phoenix Suns and Atlanta Hawks all made it a “priority” to send scouts to see Bryce play.

Bryce, who recently transferred from Sierra Canyon to Campbell Hall, has a lot of hype following him at the moment.

Will Bryce one day end up playing for any of the seven teams that came out to watch him this weekend? Time will tell.
