Delroy James (born June 4, 1987) is a Guyanese-born, naturalised American professional basketball player for Best Balıkesir of the Turkish Basketball Super League (BSL). He plays at the power forward and small forward positions.
James only started playing basketball whilst in his sophomore high school year, he left Brooklyn that same year, moving to National Christian Academy (Fort Washington, Maryland). For his junior year he moved to Florida Prep (Lake Suzy, Florida) before again transferring the same year, to Laurinburg Institute. He stayed at Laurinburg for his senior season as they accrued a 24-1 record in 2004–05.
During high school he also played in the AAU for New York City sides Aneesa Sports, and the Student-Athlete Broncos,
James was ranked a three star player by both Rivals.com and Scout.com, respectively seen as the 30th and 35th best in his position nationally for 2005. He committed to Rhode Island, playing in the Atlantic 10 Conference of the NCAA Division I, in August 2005, signing a letter of intent in November, over other scholarship offers.
However, after NCAA Initial-Eligibility issues, he had to sit out the entire 2006–07 season. Later he "violated a team academic rule" according to coach Jim Baron, leading to him also missing the first semester of the 2007–08 season. Making his belated debut on the first game of the second semester in December 2007, he had little impact in his freshman season, playing less than 10 minutes on average (3.3 points, 2.4 rebounds) though he had some more notable games.
