Bronny James had another rough night, airballing two three-point attempts in the Lakers' 88-74 loss to the Boston Celtics in summer league play.
The rule, at least in the sectioned-off seats inside the gyms at NBA Summer League is to not overreact to the results on the court, that the rookies and young players are often not even really in the rolls that they’ll eventually fill on NBA courts. But the assignment for Bronny James on Monday night against the Celtics looked a lot like the one that’s been presented for James’ future — defend and shoot.
The detractors continued to murmur while supporters had to settle for moments like a deflected pass and a defensive rebound that showcased his 40-plus-inch vertical until he swished a jumper in the fourth. Then they roared. Whether he makes shots or misses shots, James is still one of the biggest stories in Vegas. And so far, he’s mostly missed them.
