NBA (DR)

A simple rookie, we all know that Bronny James will be closely followed for his first campaign with the Lakers at the start of the school year. Will he be able to meet expectations?

What is certain is that the player impresses, including the Lakers boss, Jeanie Buss.

As the Lakers aim for the NBA championship this season, we also know that the franchise will have to successfully integrate two rookies: Bronny James and shooting guard Dalton Knecht.

There is no great concern with the latter, especially since JJ Redick is already concocting some systems for him, but doubts are greater for LeBron’s son, 55th pick in the last draft.

Will he be integrated into the Lakers rotation?

That’s THE big question today and barring a miracle, the answer is probably no.

He could be there for the first few games to make history and play with his father, but he should also spend time in the G-League to continue to develop. Because such a young player will need minutes.

Bronny James still praised by the Lakers

The good news is that everyone on the Lakers is ready to defend the player.

He’s a teammate now and don’t count on Austin Reaves and company to make him lose confidence.

Bronny has already impressed many since he arrived in Los Angeles, including Lakers owner Jeanie Buss. She spoke about him in a recent interview.

Jeanie Buss on Bronny James : “We have to let the kid get his opportunity to play and prove that he can wear a Lakers uniform. He’s had to overcome a lot of things being the son of a big star, but we’ve seen things about him, including his work ethic. He works hard, he’s dedicated. If we can get a group of players with that mentality, the sky’s the limit.”

It seems that for the moment, Bronny has been getting everyone to agree since his arrival at the Lakers.

We don’t know yet if he will succeed in establishing himself in the City of Angels, but the first few months have been very positive.

However, it is from October that the pressure arrives for James.

Jeanie Buss has absolutely no regrets about choosing Bronny James in the draft, convinced that LeBron’s son will do what is necessary to establish himself at the Lakers. We hope for him, especially since he will be followed very closely.
