Bronny James played in his latest NBA Summer League game this week.
The Los Angeles Lakers’ second-round draft pick originally made his big pro debut last weekend. His grade from that showing speaks for itself. It was so bad that even LeBron James had to come out and do damage control.
Many were curious to see how Bronny would rebound in Game 2.
As it turns out – not well.
Bronny ultimately recorded three points on 1-of-3 shooting from the field in 29 minutes of action. The youngster also chipped in three assists, five rebounds, three blocks, two steals and two turnovers.
The good news is that Bronny finished with a +/- of plus-8. That was second-best on the Lakers.
The bad news is that he also was featured in a series of lowlights that immediately went viral.

Big picture, second-round picks who go in the 50s rarely make much of an impact at the NBA-level.
Despite being LeBron’s son, it is unlikely that Bronny will prove to be an exception to that rule.
