While Bronny James appears more comfortable on the court this season, scouts maintain their previous assessment of his game. Despite averaging 13.4 points and 3.4 assists in the G League, concerns about inefficiency and turnovers persist. Scouts acknowledge his positive impact but see limited developmental upside.
Bronny James appears more comfortable on the court than he did last season at USC and in Summer League, but most scouts appear to be unchanged in their assessment of his game following his performance in the G League Showcase., James is averaging 13.4 points, 3.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.3 steals in 27.0 minutes while shooting 37.4 percent from the floor and 21.2 percent on three-pointers.
"Scouts I've spoken with view James much the same way they did during the predraft process: He's an unselfish player capable of making a positive impact at the G League level, but also not one with tremendous developmental upside," writes Jeremy Woo at ESPN."It looks like James has added strength, but he hasn't been particularly efficient this season and has struggled to control his turnovers.
"The scouting report remains the same -- opposing scouts know what to expect from James but largely aren't enamored by his long-term outlook. Nobody I spoke with at the Showcase changed their tune. There's plenty of time for James to improve, but at this point, he remains more valuable to the Lakers than to any of the other 29 teams."Jonathan Kuminga Responds To Another Change In Role With Standout GameGrizzlies vs.
