    It's funny I thought I saw glimpses last summer of him being able to put the ball on the floor and create just a bit. He'd try and sometimes work his way into the key with not "bad looking" handles and shoot a turn around J or go to the basket where he just needs to be smarter to keep from showing the ball for his top 10 highlight attempt and repeatedly getting stuffed. But yeah it just doesn't seem at all like there's anything else, other than his terrible deep % now, that has improved at all. If he's putting in 3-a-day workouts he's seemingly NOT doing them right. Redick AGAIN, like Bronny starting to get his hands up on D ..... needs to fix this. Put that smart brain to work on DK's psychology and solving the damn problem.

    Some nice plays, showing the improved handle, and confidence as well

    He’s getting hacked a whole lot and the refs just pretending he’s not.

    He started the SL with low minutes, eventually finishing it around 25 minutes.

    Another very good offensive game, where he handled the ball well and has significantly improved in ball handling and playmaking.

    In my opinion, he's not a PG, and it often shows, but he's made some good reads.
    If he played as a secondary ball handler, he'd benefit.

    That said, with all due respect to the Lakers haters, there have been worse SLs from a 55th overall pick.
    I have no doubt that all this is a waste of time, but it seems objective to me that the boy has made clear and tangible improvements in a year.

    Bronny reminds me of Max in some ways. You can see that he's put in a lot of work on his game. Max made a nice jump from his rookie to sophomore season. He still wasn't quite ready, to be a reliable rotation player, but you could tell, that he was getting close.
