NBA, Bronny James struggling: “All I care about is playing.”
At the moment, 0/12 from three for the rookie yellowoblù
.
There'è more and more pressure on Bronny James, the son of LeBron. His very first outings in Summer League are not going, to put it mildly, great. In the last game against the Houston Rockets (LA Lakers defeated 99-80), the young rookie scored eight points with a horrendous 0/8 from three.
In three Summer League games, he has yet to score a single three-pointer (0/12), highlighting limitations on the offensive end: "I feel like I'm a little stuck right now", his words reported by ESPN. Indeed, the impact with the NBA is proving complicated.
So much so that many think he will spend so much time, in his first year in the NBA, in the G League: "I can't wait to play basketball, no matter what kind of league", his thoughts. In short, Bronny James has only the court in mind and nothing else. Should he end up in the G League, he will continue to think only of playing.
Dane Johnson, coach of the LA Lakers in this Summer League, said this about Bronny James: "He pulls, he will have a long career. He's just getting started. We continue to instill confidence in all these guys. We have a long way to go". G League? All guys, sooner or later, end up in the G League", the statements of the coach currently on the yellow-viola bench for Summer League (but coach of the South Bay Lakers, a G League team).
