Bronny James entered the NBA under intense media scrutiny, largely due to the unique situation of potentially playing alongside his father. Initially overwhelmed by pressure, he struggled to shine on the Lakers' roster. However, playing in the G League proved beneficial, allowing him to grow in confidence and skill away from the spotlight. His significant improvement culminated in a standout performance scoring 17 points against the Bucks. Looking ahead, Bronny is set to participate in the Summer League, where he aims to further demonstrate his growth and resilience learned from his rookie year.
"Huge difference in my confidence. At the start of the year, I'll just say I was under a lot of pressure. I think it was getting to me a little bit. So, just having those games like the Bucks game, some of those games like that in the G League, just building my confidence every day and proving to me that I know what I can do. I'm ready to keep growing as a player."
"It was beyond ridiculous levels of scrutiny that made everyone act incredibly weird about him. Fortunately, he was able to fall out of that spotlight and accomplish what was needed, which was to develop without the circus while in the G League."
