During the recent Summer League game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Atlanta Hawks, Bronny James, son of NBA legend LeBron James, showcased significant improvement in his performance. James scored 12 points in the Lakers' narrow 87-86 victory over the Hawks, marking his best game out of the five he has played this summer.
One of the highlights of James' performance was his improved shooting accuracy. He made four of his first five shots, including his first 3-pointer of the summer on his 17th attempt. Overall, he finished the game shooting 5 for 11 from the field and 2 for 5 from beyond the arc.
This game marked a notable improvement for James, who had struggled with his shooting earlier in the summer. Prior to this game, he had shot 7 for 31 from the field and 4 for 19 in his two previous games in Las Vegas.
Throughout the summer league, which includes three games in Las Vegas and two in the California Classic in San Francisco, James has been averaging 5.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 1.2 steals per game on 29% shooting.
During his college basketball career at Southern California, James averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game. His college career was marked by a challenging start due to a congenital heart defect that required a procedure after he went into cardiac arrest during a workout last summer.
James' performance in the Summer League game against the Hawks signals a positive trajectory in his development as a player, showcasing his potential and resilience on the court.
