Lakers Urged To Make Strong Bronny James Decision After G League Stint

The Los Angeles Lakers have been urged to give guard Bronny James an extended stint in the G League to aid his development. The 22-year-old was assigned alongside rookie Cameron Carr to the Coachella Valley Lakers on November 6, where James recorded 22 points, five rebounds, and seven assists in a single game before returning to the NBA roster.

Writing for LakeShowLife.com, analyst Maxwell Ogden argued that extended G League minutes are essential for James to refine his game and run an offense. Lakers head coach JJ Redick explained the brief assignment by noting both young players simply needed in-game repetitions to continue their progress.
