Bronny James hasn't picked a college yet, but he is already being projected by some as a Top 10 NBA Draft pick.
According to one expert, Bronny has shown a ton of improvement and added size in his senior year of high school, while his peers have not.
Bronny also has a fabulous life off the court that includes several endorsement deals and some big advantages over other high school kids.
