Bronny James is already an established NBA prospect. He also enjoys a fan following of over 300,000 on the streaming platform Twitch and has mainly streamed Fortnite, NBA 2K, and Call of Duty: Warzone. From the looks of it, he might continue with this.

The 15-year-old is an exciting basketball player and is touted by many to be the heir to his father’s legacy. Bronny just got done with his freshman year at Sierra Canyon, where he plays high school alongside Zaire Wade, the son of LeBron’s former teammate Dwyane Wade.

What will be his role at FaZe?

It is still unclear what Bronny’s role at FaZe would be. From the looks of it, Bronny might end up contributing gaming content on behalf of the Esports organization. Bronny streaming Fortnite or Warzone along with other creators from FaZe would certainly be a sight worth watching!

The chances of Bronny play competitively for FaZe are slim at the moment, but one can never be too sure. This is something Bronny and FaZe might address over the next couple of days. The organization already owns an impeccable roster across many Esport titles.

It has been exciting to see FaZe expand its network with more creators. Earlier this week, the organization also signed NBA star Ben Simmons under the name FaZe Simmo. There are a few other creators from the organization’s roster who are also athletes. This signing of Bronny and Simmons could be a signal of something big.

Since he is an avid gamer, this signing will come as a huge boost for Bronny, although he is also likely to keep chasing his NBA dream. On the other hand, FaZe could benefit from the new signing’s popularity amongst gamers and basketball fans alike.
