The teenager delivered a stellar performance, racking up 16 points, including four three-pointers, along with five rebounds. He also had an incredible effort on the defensive end, recording four steals that played a crucial role in his team’s 60-46 victory over Grayson.
The 6ft 6″ youngster’s performance was arguably his best of the season, showcasing significant growth and maturity in his game. He displayed excellent floor spacing and confidence, with an aggressive approach allowing his presence to be felt on both ends of the court.

Bryce is having the best stretch of his basketball career. Merely a few days before his MVP performance, the shooting guard announced his commitment to the University of Arizona.
Bryce will focus on further developing his skills as a shooter while playing for the Wildcats, with particular importance on improving his off-the-dribble shooting. While he may not yet be projected as a future lottery pick, he has the potential to become a reliable role player in the NBA. However, he will need to gain a few years of experience at the college level.
