The younger son of 4x NBA champ LeBron James, Bryce James, took it to Instagram to commend Alijah Arenas' new teammate Velijah Miller. Miller showed some incredible skills while dribbling through traffic and converting tough shots.
"Pro sh*t @velijahmiller," Bryce James captioned the story.
The 6-foot-1 combo guard belongs to the class of 2025 and plays club basketball for West Coast Elite 16. PrepHoops' David Yapkowitz talked about Miller's gameplay.
"Miller is a crafty guard with good court vision; he sees his teammates in the halfcourt. He can score the ball but he was one of the best playmakers I saw," said Yapkowitz.
In five games, Bryce James averaged 22.2 minutes while shooting 31.4% from the field in the Nike Peach Jam tournament. He scored 5.6 points, grabbed 2.4 rebounds and blocked 1.0 shots per contest.
James talked about his team in a YouTube video by "UNINTERRUPTED" on Sep. 23.
“This team's special because, you know, we all know each other very well. Like, we all play with each other. Like, especially me, Braden, LZT, like we all know each other since like the first time we ever started like SFG," said James.
"Like we all know how to play with each other. So you know, this team is just special. 'Cause we all know like what we're capable of. We all know what we can do as a team.”
