Bronny James Has Best Game Of Young NBA Career In Lakers Summer League 87-86 Win Against Hawks
Bronny James had his best game of the NBA Las Vegas Summer League and of his young NBA career so far, scoring 12 points on 5-11 shooting as the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Atlanta Hawks 87-86 last night.
James Jr. has struggled before last night’s game to find his rhythm, shooting a total of 6-25 in his first 3 summer league games in Las Vegas and hadn’t made a 3 point shot attempt until about 2 minutes and 48 seconds left in the 2nd quarter when came off of a dribble hand off from Colin Castleton, perfectly swishing in a shot from 3 point range to put the Lakers up 40 to 33 over the Hawks at that point.
“Felt really good.” Bronny said when he asked how it felt about finally making a 3 after not making one in 6 total summer league games. “
Bronny James happy about his performance after Lakers win against the Hawks.
The Lakers played without their number 17 draft pick Dalton Knecht, who has been playing pretty well for them over the summer league stretch and James Jr. was mic wearing a mic for behind the scenes footage, so maybe extra opportunity and more incentive gave him the motivation he needed to put up a better performance last night, or maybe he is starting to settle in and gain more confidence each time he gets a chance to play.
Whatever the cause for his performance, James Jr. will get another chance to add or even surpass it tonight as the young Lakers play their first back to back game tonight at the Las Vegas summer league against the Cleveland Cavaliers at 9pm, ET with Knecht back in the rotation.
With his performance last night, James Jr. has become the most popular betting pick to win the NBA’s “Rookie Of The Year” , according to ESPN staff writer David Purdum’s article on espn.com.
