Bronny James is quickly moving up the totem pole.
Top recruiting outlet On3 Sports gave Bronny, the 18-year-old son of Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James, a big upgrade in their prospect rankings this week. On3 Sports now has Bronny as a five-star prospect as well as the No. 9-ranked prospect for the 2023 class. They previously had him ranked at No. 27 as a four-star prospect.

On3 Sports also shared the industry comparison for the rankings. ESPN, 247 Sports, and Rivals all still have Bronny rated as a four-star prospect (ranging in rank from No. 28 to No. 43).

The upgrade for Bronny comes just one day after his dad LeBron hyped him up in a tweet. LeBron wrote that Bronny is “definitely better than some of these cats I’ve been watching on [NBA] league pass today.”
A 6-foot-3 combo guard, Bronny is in his senior season for Sierra Canyon High School in Chatsworth, Calif. He has not yet announced a decision on where he will attend college but reportedly has three schools atop his list.
