Bronny James, the son of NBA legend LeBron James, had a standout performance in the Las Vegas Summer League on Wednesday night, showcasing his improved shooting skills in the Los Angeles Lakers’ 87-86 victory over the Atlanta Hawks. James finished the game with 12 points, a significant leap from his previous performances in the summer league.
His scoring outburst came on the heels of a rough start to the summer league. James had struggled with his shot, entering the game with a field goal percentage of just 7 for 31. However, he showcased a newfound confidence in this game, making four of his first five shots, including his first three-pointer of the summer on his 17th attempt. He finished the game 5 for 11 from the field and 2 for 5 from three-point range.
This improved shooting performance is a positive sign for James as he continues to adjust to professional basketball. He had a challenging freshman year at USC, missing the start of the season due to a heart condition that required a procedure. However, he gradually gained momentum throughout the season, averaging 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game.
His performance in the summer league is a testament to his hard work and dedication to developing his game. As he continues to hone his skills and gain experience, it will be exciting to see what the future holds for Bronny James in the NBA.
