The path for Bronny to crack the Lakers’ rotation next season
Reed Sheppard and Nikola Topic have the shortest odds to win tournament MVP, but there are two other names in particular that stand out on this board, and that’s Bronny James (+4000) and Cooper Flagg (+2500).
After being drafted with the No. 55 pick of the 2024 NBA Draft, Bronny spent his rookie season rotating playing time between the South Bay Lakers and the Los Angeles Lakers.
However, the 6-foot-2 guard out of USC and son of LeBron James averaged only 2.3 points per contest in his first season.
And one expert said that he’s going to “have to figure it out” when it comes to evolving his game.
“Guys his size are usually lights-out shooters,” “Speak” co-host Paul Pierce explained. “So he has to hang his hat on the defensive end, and that’s one thing I’m going to be watching this summer — to see how intense he plays on the defensive end.
“[The Lakers] بحاجة إلى بعض الوجود الدفاعي. وإذا كان بإمكانه فعل ذلك هذا الصيف والتحسن في هذا المجال ، فيمكنه كسر التشكيلة “.
يذهب Bronny James إلى Slam Dunk ضد Miami Heat خلال النصف الأول من كاليفورنيا الكلاسيكي.
قد يتطلع المشجعون والمراهنون الآخرون عندما يتعلق الأمر بالدوري الصيفي.
كان المهاجم الذي يبلغ طوله 6 أقدام و 9 أقدام من ديوك هو الاختيار رقم 1 من مسودة 2025 وسوف يناسب دالاس الموسم المقبل.
“أعتقد في الواقع أنه سيكون جيدًا على الفور” ، قال كريس بروسارد ، الذي كان أول شيء “، المستضافة المشارك” ، عن الصاعد. “يمكنه أن يفعل كل شيء. يمكنه إطلاق النار على 3 ، يمكنه إطلاق النار على المدى المتوسط ، يمكنه خلعه من سال لعابه … هو يفعل الدفاع.
“إنه سيكون بالفعل متقدمًا على لاعبي الدوري الاميركي للمحترفين بسبب ذكاء كرة السلة.”
