Bronny James and Team West ended up losing on the night despite Bronny’s shooting clinic. They actually led for most of the game with Bronny and Isaiah Collier’s contributions.
A second-half comeback for the East came from DJ Wagner, the first third-generation player in the All-American game. Wagner and Collier were named co-MVPs, as the East walked out with a 106-109 win.
Bronny James Is Elevating His Game
Even though he wasn’t a 5-star recruit till earlier this year, Bronny has catapulted his ranking as a player in this year’s high school class this season. He led Sierra Canyon to a solid season, gaining a reputation as a defensive menace on the perimeter. His NBA comparison has been with the likes of Jrue Holiday and Marcus Smart, a testament to his strength as a defender.
He is currently projected to be a top-10 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. In the meantime, he needs to commit to a college as he was the only player to play tonight who hasn’t committed to a university yet. He was reportedly picking between 3 schools and we are ever closer to his version of ‘The Decision’ taking place.
