Lebron James’s son, Bronny James, has been a point of contention this season after the Los Angeles Lakers drafted him with the 55th overall pick in the second round of the NBA draft despite having a subpar showing in his lone season at the University of Southern California.
Bronny’s rookie season in the NBA has predictably had its share of low points, with the young player struggling to crack the rotation for much of the season.
However, Bronny has recently started to hit his stride at the pro level.
Bronny recently had the best outing of his season against the Milwaukee Bucks, scoring 17 points on 7-10 shooting to go along with three rebounds and five assists in 30 minutes of game action.
It seems Bronny is riding this momentum, as he recently dominated in a showing for the South Bay Lakers, Los Angeles’ G-League affiliate, where Bronny has been splitting time to help with his development.
“Bronny James could not be stopped! The (Lakers) draftee recorded a career-high in scoring and posted his third 30+ point performance this season,” reported the G-League’s official Twitter account.
It’s clear that Bronny is proving his doubters wrong, after many said that the only reason he was playing at the professional level at all was due to his last name.
It’ll be interesting to see how Bronny contributes to the Lakers when the NBA playoffs roll around.
