He joins fellow Duke teammate and 4th-overall pick Kon Knueppel in the team. James began making waves at Lanier High School, where he averaged 14.6 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 5.3 assists per game as a junior. His all-around game and leadership earned him a spot at Tulane University in 2020, where he cracked the starting lineup as a freshman and quickly became a key piece for the Green Wave. <\/p><p>In his first collegiate season, James put up 5.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 1.2 steals per game. His development was steady, and by his junior year, he was not only contributing across the stat sheet, averaging 9.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 3.4 assists, but also earning the American Athletic Conference&rsquo;s Sportsmanship Award. He would win the same honor again in his senior season, while averaging 14 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.6 steals.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">With the 33rd pick of the NBA Draft, the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hornets?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@hornets<\/a> select Sion James (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SionJames14?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@SionJames14<\/a>)!<br><br>Second Round of the 2025 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NBADraft?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#NBADraft<\/a> presented by State Farm is LIVE on ESPN! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/NcN9TE9fXx\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/NcN9TE9fXx<\/a><\/p>&mdash; NBA (@NBA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NBA\/status\/1938397118353285332?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>June 27, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>After four strong years at Tulane, James entered the NCAA transfer portal and landed with the Duke Blue Devils.
