After being picked 55th by the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2024 draft, Bronny James has started four games for the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Summer League — two games in San Francisco and two in Las Vegas.
So, how’s he looking?
Like he belongs in the G-League. And that’s OK.
I’ll be the first to tell you that I didn’t hate the Lakers’ bet on Bronny James at 55. About half the players selected in that late never even play a second in the NBA, so it’s not like they burned a lotto pick on him. Throw in the fact that sons of NBA players have continually exceeded draft night expectations and you can see why the Lakers are taking a flier on the 20-year-old former McDonald’s All-American.
But it’s gonna be a while before Bronny James etches his name to the long list of draft night sleepers.
