Bryce James didn’t get drafted in the 2026 NBA Draft.<\/p>\n
That makes sense, since he wasn’t even entered into the draft. LeBron James’ son just completed his first year on campus at the University of Arizona.<\/p>\n
Bryce didn’t play a single second of action for the Wildcats, as they wanted to keep him off the court and redshirt him to preserve this year of his eligibility.<\/p>\n
He also has stayed put, not entering the transfer portal and instead trusting that he can make it at Arizona.<\/p>\n
