Bruce Branch III, the No.1 player in the junior high school class, announced Saturday that he has reclassified up to the senior class, becoming eligible for the 2027 NBA Draft.

The 6-foot-7 guard is one of the best players in high school basketball, regardless of class, and will now be in contention for the No. 1 overall pick along with the current No. 1-ranked senior, Tyran Stokes. Stokes is a 6-7, 230-pound wing out of Rainer Beach High School (Washington).

“I chose to reclassify because of the growth I’ve made as a player and I’m not really chasing shortcuts,” Branch told NBA.com. “This gives me the space to develop the right way physically, mentally and especially as a leader.”

      He’s really good, take in account competition cause he’s playing for a really good school. Use your brain

      @feverdream3512he’s good but to be reclassifying it can set you back. Look at Emani Bates

    So the NBA already knows who’s gonna be entering the league before they’re graduated from high school? That’s got to be some form of tampering, that is nowhere near fair to the kids from small schools who are D1 level but get no recognition…

    Strong No. 1 pick candidate in the 2027 NBA Draft. The 17-year-old wing has elite physcial tools, standing 6-foot-7 with a 7-foot-1 wingspan and massive hands. He’s a smooth pull-up scorer with crisp footwoork in the midrange and smooth mechanics that extend out to the three-point line. He projects to provide significant versatility on the defensive end to guard 1-4, heat up the ball, and use his length and instincts as a help defender. NBA scouts will be closely monitoring his evolution over the next 18 months. Growth on the ball and in his shot-creation will be pivotal. Schools like Duke, Arizona, Kentucky, Kansas, and Louiville in the mix for his talents next fall.
