Bronny has been really good in G league. 50/40/90 splits? Wonder if he'll make the all g league team (his ppg probably too low)
He didn’t play a ton, 13 mins, but i thought he looked fine. Had a dunk and made a 12-15 foot jumper late when they were cutting the lead way down. Maybe wasn’t great on defense, but we play switching everything so it’s hard to tell how his actual man defense would have been, plus nobody else played great either to close really.
Inserted early in a contested game for his 33rd game of the season. Hmmmmm, interesting. All that aside, he played well on D.
I thought he looked solid. My thoughts on him remain the same - if he can keep improving on defense he can stick around the league for awhile even if he's not here.
it's funny how much his three point makes look like his dad's. they both have that same sort of old school release on the jumper (this is how i shot them, and different than how, say, curry shoots them) and an arc that's maybe a little flatter than most three point shooters'.
Lakers praise Bronny James The Lakers took a comfortable lead on the Pacers Wednesday night, allowing head coach JJ Redick to play James. In 13 minutes off the bench, James recorded four points, one rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block, acting as a spark on both ends of the floor. JJ Redick “He’s gotten significantly better,” Redick said of James on the Spectrum SportsNet broadcast. “I know our staff has a lot of confidence in him. Felt like this was a game we really needed him. He had two really, really good defensive possessions, individual defense, in the first half. “I think the biggest thing with him is he’s got a lot of confidence right now. I know he didn’t make his 3 tonight, but he’s got a lot of confidence in his shot right now. He’s having a fantastic season with South Bay. He’s been, arguably, the best player for the last three or four weeks in our stay-ready games. He’s got a bounce to his step right now, and I think that just comes from developing that confidence.” Luka Doncic “Definitely a big improvement from last year. I saw in training camp he was doing some stuff that I was really impressed with. He did a great job today. Big game from him, that pull-up two was a big bucket. It was probably one of the most important shots of the game. I think he did really great in those minutes.” Austin Reaves “He was good. Good minutes. He made one of the biggest shots of the night with a pull-up two. I think we were up 13 at the time, and he got it to 15. He just needs reps. That’s it. Played hard, did what he was supposed to do. I was really happy for him. “He’s just gotten better every single day. He doesn’t take shortcuts, he loves working, does the right things, keeps his head down, doesn’t care about all the noise. Just continues to work and get better every single day. He also loves to golf. Golf game has gotten a lot better too.” Jaxson Hayes “Obviously he’s a real quick, athletic player. It really shows on the defensive end. I thought he did great today. He got that rebound and dunk, he had a bunch of other deflections and he was just stopping guys. He did wonderful today.” https://lakersnation.com/lakers-needed-bronny-james-against-pacers-and-more-praise/
