Bronny James made his debut for the Los Angeles Lakers this season. Though it was a significant milestone for him and his father, LeBron James, the Lakers rookie hasn’t yet captured fans’ enthusiasm. His performances during the regular season, much like his preseason showings, have been underwhelming, leading to his assignment in the G-League.
Former NBA star Gilbert Arenas recently weighed in on Bronny’s game, expressing doubts about his fit in the NBA. Speaking on The Gil’s Arena Show, Arenas shared that he sees a specific issue holding Bronny back: his passive playing style.
“The problem with Bronny’s game is he’s not aggressive, and when you’re not looking to score, it becomes a problem. When you’re looking to make passes, you miss everything,” Arenas said.
“If you just be ultra aggressive, like, I’m looking to score, you stop me, then I make the pass. But if you’re sitting here trying to make a pass and the rim is right here, It becomes a harder game,” he added.
Chandler Parsons Weighs On Bronny James’ Situation
Former NBA player Chandler Parsons recently shared his thoughts on Bronny James’ journey in the NBA on the show Run It Back. According to Parsons, Bronny’s development will take time, despite his famous last name and his father’s legacy.
“This is a project, no matter his last name or his father’s name. He needs to master his role in the G League and where he can find value on the Los Angeles Lakers team this season,” Parsons said.
