Bronny James faces early challenges: Teammate frustration and performance struggles in Summer League
Bronny James is struggling to meet expectations in the Summer League, triggering criticism from teammates and challenges in his performance. Rumors suggest that his exceptional treatment within the team is causing discomfort among others.
A Summer League teammate of Bronny reportedly expressed disappointment, saying, "It's frustrating Bronny was treated differently, disrupting the team's chemistry. The focus was on highlighting Bronny's skills, sidelining others."
Bronny, 55th pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, joined the Lakers for a four-year contract worth $7.9. "Most players on the roster during the California Classic and Summer League share similar sentiments," the player added. "We all looked forward to the league's end to focus on our career progression."
In two California Classic Games, Bronny showed an average of 3.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.5 with 25.0% field shooting and matching three-point shooting records.
His stats during the Summer League games held at Las Vegas included an average of 8.7 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.7 steals, 0.5 blocks, .0% overall shooting, and 15.8% three-line performance.
Teammates believe Bronny is not yet prepared for the NBA. Last year, after recovering from a cardiac arrest, Bronny played for USC in the college season, averaging 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.2 blocks. His shooting performance included a 36.6% field shooting score, 26.7% from the three-line, and 67.6% from the free-throw line.
2024-25 will witness NBA history when LeBron and Bronny play together, a first-ever father-son duo in the NBA.
