James is the only uncommitted player on the list to be invited to the prestigious game that features 22 of the top 23 prospects on the ESPN 100 list.
James, standing at 6-foot-3, has made tremendous improvements on his game since joining Sierra Canyon High School in California, as multiple Division I schools are recruiting him. He’s considered one of the best two-way guards in the class of 2023.
