Lakers’ Plan For Bronny James Next Season Revealed
Lakers' Plan For Bronny James Next Season Revealed
Bronny James has shown remarkable improvement during his first season with the Los Angeles Lakers, according to recent insider reports. While the son of NBA superstar LeBron James faced initial challenges adapting to professional basketball, his development accelerated significantly as the season progressed.
After spending valuable time with the South Bay Lakers in the G-League, Bronny displayed noticeable growth in his game, particularly in the latter months of the season.
A Western Conference executive recently expressed confidence in Bronny’s trajectory, noting that the Lakers appear committed to expanding his role next season. Despite modest rookie statistics—averaging just 2.3 points across 27 regular-season appearances—Bronny demonstrated his potential with a breakout 17-point performance against the Milwaukee Bucks. This improvement trajectory suggests the USC Trojans product could become a more integral part of the Lakers rotation in the upcoming 2025-26 campaign.
Executive Says Bronny James Will Be A Regular In Lakers Rotation
According to a Western Conference executive, Bronny James is expected to become a regular part of the Los Angeles Lakers rotation in the upcoming season. The executive believes the Lakers’ plan clearly includes integrating the young guard into their lineup.
“I don’t think there’s any doubt that’s their plan,” the executive stated when discussing Bronny’s future role with the team. They projected that if Bronny can continue his development, he could earn between 10-15 minutes per game as the coaching staff gains more confidence in his abilities.
Bronny has already shown promising signs during his time with the South Bay Lakers in the G League. His standout 39-point performance against Santa Cruz demonstrated his scoring potential and raised expectations for his NBA career.
Lakers insider Dave McMenamin shares similar optimism, suggesting that Bronny could develop into a rotation player by midseason. This timeline would give the rookie time to adjust to NBA competition while gradually increasing his responsibilities.
The 2024 NBA Draft pick’s development path may differ from typical rookies, but his progress in both limited NBA minutes and G League appearances has impressed team observers and executives alike.
