Los Angeles Lakers point guard Bronny James’ 2024-25 rookie season was never expected to be particularly easy. The 6-foot-2 former USC product was selected with the No. 55 pick by his dad LeBron James’ longtime team on something of a flier, after spending a year as a raw reserve project for an underwhelming 15-18 Cardinal and Gold squad.<\/p>\n

Across his first three preseason contests, the 20-year-old is logging averages of 0.7 points on 9.1 percent shooting from the floor and 0 percent shooting from beyond the arc (he’s taking 1.3 triple tries a night), plus 1.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks. He’s also averaging 1.7 turnovers and 1.0 fouls a night in his 11.9 minutes per off the Lakers’ bench. It was revealed prior to training camp that new Lakers head coach JJ Redick \u2014\u00a0who co-hosted the excellent “Mind The Game” basketball podcast alongside LeBron James prior to his joining the ranks of Los Angeles\u00a0\u2014\u00a0plans to primarily develop Bronny James with the Lakers’ G League squad in El Segundo, the South Bay Lakers.<\/p>\n

During an interview somewhere in the Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena, ESPN’s Dave McMenamin caught up with the younger James to ask him about what has been a fairly brutal preseason run so far.<\/p>\n
