ESPN national recruiting director Paul Biancardi scouted LeBron James in the early 2000s, back when Biancardi was a college assistant at Ohio State and LeBron was a high school sophomore. Biancardi has more recently had several opportunities to scout James' son, Bronny James, who is about to enter his sophomore season at Sierra Canyon School in Chatsworth, California. With Bronny appearing in the ESPN 25 for the Class of 2023 for the first time on Tuesday, Biancardi compared what he sees with the younger James to the skills his father demonstrated at the same stage of development.
