Bronny James, the son of LeBron James, had many doubters and critics when the Los Angeles Lakers took him with the No. 55 pick in last year's NBA draft. It certainly didn't help that he struggled mightily during summer league play and early on in the G League.

After an encouraging rookie season, Los Angeles guard Bronny James could have a bigger role with the team next year.

Throughout the course of the 2024-25 season, James played in 27 games and made one start. He averaged 2.3 points, 0.8 assists, and 0.7 rebounds per game. James had his best game on March 20 against the Milwaukee Bucks when he scored 17 points, dished out five assists, and grabbed three rebounds.
