Bryce James scores first collegiate points for Arizona vs. Cal Poly

Bryce James, a son of the NBA’s all-time leading scorer LeBron James, scored his first collegiate points for Arizona against Cal Poly on Thursday night.

James started his second straight game and scored his first collegiate bucket less than three minutes into the game.

Derek Dixon brought the ball up the court and passed it off to Motiejus Krivas. Krivas passed the ball off to Caleb Holt near the top of the key, who dribbled around up top before finding James in the corner for a catch-and-shoot 3-pointer.

James knocked it down, and the McKale Center crowd erupted as he made his way back down to the court.

The 6-foot-5 sophomore logged those three points, one rebound, one assist and one steal in his first nine minutes Thursday. James finished Arizona’s first game with one assist in six minutes, shooting 0 for 3 from the field.
