Bronny James, the Los Angeles Lakers' rookie and son of LeBron James, has struggled significantly in the NBA Summer League, shooting just 6-for-26 from the field and 0-for-12 from beyond the arc across his first three games, admitting he is currently in a slump. Despite these challenges, James expressed openness to playing in the G League to develop his skills. Lakers' coach JJ Redick and Summer League coach Dane Johnson have both acknowledged his potential and defensive capabilities. The Lakers signed Bronny to a four-year, $7.9 million deal, and his performance has been a major talking point, with some criticism suggesting nepotism influenced his draft selection.
