While Bronny James is currently at the very beginning of his rookie season with the Lakers, it's become abundantly clear that the young guard needs significantly more experience before he's ready to join the bench. © Brett Davis-Imagn Images Recently, NBA legend Charles Barkley spoke about Bronny on The Dan Patrick Show , reiterating the rookie's need for more experience: "I think he needs to go to the G League so he can get better as a basketball player. He's not going to get better sitting on the bench.
.. He needs to play basketball.
.. The only way you get better at playing any sport is playing that sport.
I think it's a great story, it's great for LeBron, but he needs to go to the G League to learn how to get better as a basketball player." Bronny played 25 games in college. By the numbers, he was a mediocre guard at USC, averaging 4.
8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 steals per game.
It's not surprising that several NBA veterans have suggested Bronny be assigned to the G League for the rest of the season. Bronny's numbers this season are unimpressive, averaging 2.7 minutes, 0.
7 points per game, 0.7 assists, and 0.3 rebounds per game.
Let's be honest, how much experience is Bronny really getting? The Lakers' games have been too close to risk losing by playing the young guard. Going to the G League would provide him with a necessary learning experience. Bronny James still needs to refine a few areas of his game before making the jump to the NBA.
While he shows potential, he needs to work on his shooting, ball-handling, and overall offensive decision-making. Experts agree that the most effective way for Bronny to elevate his game is through a combination of targeted practice and real-game experience. The G League offers the perfect platform for this development, allowing him to face tough competition while honing the skills necessary to thrive at the next level.
With focused training and consistent minutes on the court, Bronny has the opportunity to make significant strides in his journey to the NBA.. Related: Matt Barnes and Gene Davis Owe JJ Redick an Apology.
