Bronny James of the Los Angeles Lakers struggled in a recent Summer League game, scoring only eight points on 3-of-14 shooting. Despite his scoring woes, James managed to contribute with five rebounds and two steals. His shooting struggles have been evident throughout the summer league, with no successful three-pointers made out of 12 attempts. Analysts predicted prior to the draft that James would need to improve his shooting abilities. However, his defensive skills have shone through with four steals and three blocks in three games. James remains open to any role the Lakers assign to him, including a potential stint in the G League. While he works to improve his game, his defensive prowess could secure him a spot as a reliable player off the bench for the Lakers. Summer league serves as a valuable opportunity for James to enhance his skills before the upcoming season.
