Bronny James Has a Rough Shooting Night, but Makes Progress in His Quest to Earn a Role with Lakers
Lakers coach JJ Redick highlights Bronny James' improved comfort and defensive impact despite a 1-for-12 shooting night in the preseason opener, showing clear growth from last year.
- Friday night, Bronny James scored eight points in the Lakers' 103-81 preseason loss to the Phoenix Suns, entering the game as a reserve and receiving extended minutes.
- After a rookie year marked by questions over readiness, Bronny James appeared in 27 games and developed in the G League, averaging 21.9 points and 5.5 assists for the Los Angeles Lakers affiliate.
- Coach JJ Redick said `He is so much more comfortable and confident as a player`, and Bronny James added `Definitely felt like I was more comfortable, especially with the ball in my hands, and with the defensive and offensive schemes`.
- The boxscore underlined both opportunity and uneven results as Bronny James played nearly 23 minutes and finished with a minus-12 rating, five rebounds, and two assists.
- Both the player and team hope Bronny James can contribute more as a reserve this year in LeBron James's possible final season, while the Lakers' preseason continues Sunday.
