Lakers Have 1 Big Concern About Bronny James After Summer League

Bronny James had something of an up and down Summer League showing.

After getting off to a disastrous start that had some worrying about his mental Health, Bronny eventually found his groove in his last two Games.

Over the course those two outings he put up 25 points on 10-of-21 shooting – respectable stats for anyone.

The question now is how Bronny will fare when he is facing NBA-level comPetition instead of Summer League-level comPetition.

Apparently, the Lakers have a pretty big concern when it comes to that particular topic.

According to ClutchPoints, the Lakers have one big worry about Bronny heading into the new season.

“His streaky outside shot and that he won’t get to spend enough time on a (G-League) court to get more comfortable from the NBA line,” the report noted.

“But the real concern is that fans will continue to look at his career through a vastly distorted lens and judge him rightfully or wrongly based on his father’s achievements, not his own.

“If James was any other player, he’d be an encouraging young player who might become someone down the line, but because his father’s career is rapidly coming to an end, the pressure will instead be on to see him share the court with the ‘King,’ toss him an alley-oop, and hit an open 3 dished his way by the future Hall of Famer.”

Obviously it is unfortunate that Bronny has to deal with this level of stress, but it is also something that is his own family’s doing.

The James family wanted this. They wanted him in L.A. They wanted him and LeBron together on the Lakers. And now they got it. With that will come both good and bad.
