Even before he arrived in the NBA, Bronny James made noise on the Lakers side thanks to the Summer League.
Not easy to live with for LeBron’s son, nor even… for his teammates.
One of them spoke about the young player and the hype surrounding him.
In a few weeks, Bronny James will make his official debut with the Lakers.
Even before the regular season, LeBron’s son will have to start training camp with JJ Redick as his coach and his father as his teammate.
It promises to be special for the former USC player, especially since the media will be numerous to follow his exploits in the NBA .
Will Bronny spend a lot of time in the league, or will he play in the G-League?
The latter is currently the case, which will allow him to get minutes and continue to develop his game and whatever potential he has.
However, so far, James has made a very good impression on his counterparts.
Bronny James praised by Lakers
Several teammates noticed that in Summer League last July.
Bronny let go of some good performances towards the end, even if his shooting percentage was clearly not glorious.
Not a problem for Kyle Mangas, who was with the Angelinos at the time, and here is what he has to say about Bronny and the media attention.
Kyle Mangas on Bronny James : “He’s a great guy, pretty quiet, very laid back. He works really hard too. But there’s a lot of media around him. Sometimes we’d get off the bus and there’d be 250 people around him filming him and watching him walk to the hotel. It’s sad for a kid that’s in that situation, there’s a lot of pressure.”
Bronny will have to manage this as best he can, which is clearly not easy at his young age.
Fortunately, his father and his clan will be close to him to support him, especially since his first NBA games will not calm all that down.
He will have to be mentally strong.
Bronny James is well-liked by his teammates, although the attention he gets could become a serious problem. The Lakers have been warned, and they will do their best to protect him. As much as needed.
