Bronny James has been a hot topic amongst NBA fans. Now, of course, some of it is because he is LeBron James’s son. However, his ability and recent 4-star prospect status is the thing that is attracting fans and scouts the most over the last few months.

As you’d expect, with all this hoopla comes quite a bit of interest from multiple schools ahead of a career in the NBA. And indeed, this is exactly what has happened with the 18-year-old. But despite all the hype, the young man has been able to keep mum about where he’d like to go.
Many have speculated that the Buckeyes of Ohio State would be the ones to receive his talents. After all, it is where LeBron James would have gone if he had the chance. And of course, the picture in the tweet below didn’t help much either.

For many, it almost seemed like a foregone conclusion that Ohio State was his school of choice. However, as it turns out, another school has come steaming into the fray.
And the one who revealed this story is a 5-star athlete himself.
Bronny James ‘likes’ the Oregon Ducks, as per recent Oregon signee K.J. Evans
Kwame Evans Jr., better known as K.J. Evans is a 5-star NBA prospect recently signed by the Oregon Ducks. The man is a power-forward at 6’9” alongside a hulking 200 lbs frame.
Evans is a pretty darn good player already. But of course, your teammates can never be too good. And so, of course, the man is looking for players that can better the Oregon Ducks’ squad.
And recently, it appears that the man hit the jackpot. And his prize could be Bronny James.

The playstyle certainly does sound like one that would benefit Bronny massively. After all, the young man has inherited LeBron James’s talent for playmaking. Even with largely no movement in front of him, the man has been known to get his team easy buckets.
So, to have the chance to play in a system with so much cutting? His assist averages may hit double figures.
However, it’s still too soon to consider this a done deal.
Au contraire, the race for Bronny James has really only just begun.
