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.
LeBron has even declared that his son is already better than some players in the NBA.
Bronny also has a fabulous life off the court that includes several endorsement deals and some big advantages over other high school kids.
