Let him play consistent games in the G League. He gets nowhere playing one in every 4 games.

Again, GPII has always been my best case scenario. If he works his tail off in the g-league and doesn't take anything for granted, then he can be a contributor in a few seasons. His progress in the g-league is a welcome sight, but that's often not enough. He has to carve out a niche for himself there. Guys like Caruso and GPII made it because they were busting ass and fighting to not play overseas.

There some possessions where he was keeping up with Maxey, but Maxey just hit some tough runners and fade away.

Overall offensively he played scared. Not the same in the g-league.

Not sure what JJ wanted to accomplish with him tonight by playing him early when it matters. Everyone knows the kid is not ready.

Maxey showed Bronny what an nba player looks like. Kid belongs
in the gleague for the foreseeable future and maybe longer.

We are not serious about winning the games he plays early. JJ saying he was for energy is laughable.

Yeah that's nonsense I'd rather have Milton out there as an emergency guard or just play another forward over Bronny.

If Pelinka isn't going to help him out JJ has to develop the roster he is given

Should not see an NBA court in the forseeable future. I can't believe JJ put him in in the first freaking quarter.

On the other hand, I do appreciate JJ is willing to take a risk. Imagine if Bronny locked down Maxey and hit a few big threes

Let's hope he learned the difference between courage and foolhardiness.

He's playing well in the G League, but he's not NBA ready. Simple as that.
Let him have some more experience with South Bay.

He's shot 39% in the G-league. He's been decent at best.

Instead what we got was someone everyone knew wasn't an NBA player proving why he's not that. And in result our coach disrespected actual NBA players in the process.

Bronny ahead in the pecking order ahead of Dalton Milton and Cam is some next level disrespect.

He has no real skill that you can say is at an NBA level.

Andre Ingram at least had a skill that was on that level.

He's a make a wish case.

I don't think he did worse than our recent 1st round pick would have.

*In all honesty JJ (bleep) up. I swear it looked like Nick Nurse took that (bleep) personally
I wonder how their next huddle in timeout sounded like

It's good to give him a taste of the fire but not early in the game on the opponents court.

its 100% on JJ. No legit coach would to that.

Bronny should only play if you're tanking games or it's a blowout by 30.

Nurse didn't have to say anything. As a player i'd take that as blatant disrespect. Fully deserved to get embarassed like that.

For his sake, I hope this can die off at some point so he can have a somewhat normal playing experience. The crowd reaction to him right now is really embarrassing.

I had to look this up after reading about it on Reddit. I thought "this can't possibly be true.

https://www.espn.com/nba/player/gamelog/_/id/4683774/bronny-james

Bronny has made ONE FIELD GOAL all season. You'd think even a couple of put backs or run outs in garbage time but nope. One field goal.

You mean the one who Lakers’ fans were calling “a bust”, not “the kid,” during his first season, when he was Bronny’s age?

I’d say JHS is a better ball handler than Bronny, so yeah, he probably did do worse handling the ball.
