The physicality. He gets over on screens, good with his hands as far as deflection and steals. But he\u2019s also still learning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bronny logged 2 rebounds and 4 turnovers in 14 minutes of action against the Suns. He missed his lone attempt \u2014 a 3-pointer off a dribble handoff from his father, LeBron, during their brief moment together at the start of the second quarter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s still trying to figure everything out, so we have to realize that,\u201d Davis continued. \u201cHe\u2019s still a rookie \u2014 and this is a different style of basketball in the league. But I like what I\u2019m seeing from him on both ends of the floor, especially defensively.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bronny also struggled shooting the ball in his preseason debut. He missed his first four attempts before scoring his first basket in garbage time during the Lakers\u2019 124-107 loss to the\u00a0Minnesota Timberwolves\u00a0on October 4.<\/p>\n<p>But Bronny made his presence felt on the defensive end with three blocks, which was the most by any guard in a preseason game since Dwyane Wade\u2019s four in 2003.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>\u2018Bronny\u2019s Such a Great Kid\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>Lakers first-time head coach JJ Redick told Bronny and LeBron about his plan to play them together against the Suns without specifying which part of the game.<\/p>\n<p>With the Lakers up by nine, 34-25, after the first quarter, Redick seized the chance to finally get that most anticipated moment off their chest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust wanted to get them a chance to play together in preseason \u2026 within the flow of the game,\u201d\u00a0Redick told reporters. \u201cI\u2019m thrilled that I get to be a part of this. I really am. It\u2019s cool as a basketball fan.<\/p>\n<p>I think it speaks to LeBron\u2019s longevity, but also his competitive stamina that he\u2019s able to still be doing this in Year 22. It speaks to the work that Bronny has put in to get to this point and really just the fatherly care and love, and certainly the motherly care from Savannah as well. Bronny\u2019s such a great kid, and he\u2019s a pleasure to be around.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But while Bronny is a great kid, he is still raw. And based on the Lakers\u2019 rotation in the first quarter, which mirrors Redick\u2019s plan for the season, Bronny is not part of it.<\/p>\n<p>Redick went with his projected starting lineup:\u00a0D\u2019Angelo Russell,\u00a0Austin Reaves,\u00a0Rui Hachimura,\u00a0LeBron and Davis with\u00a0Max Christie\u00a0as the first player off the bench.<\/p>\n<p>Jaxson Hayes\u00a0and\u00a0Gabe Vincent\u00a0were the other seventh and eighth men in the rotation. The final spot is still up for grabs, but based on their first two preseason games, the Lakers\u2019 22-year-old rookie\u00a0Dalton Knecht is the strong frontrunner ahead of Jalen Hood-Schifino and\u00a0Cam Reddish.<\/p>\n<p>Knecht is averaging 11.5 points on 45.5% field goal shooting, 2.5 assists, 2.0 rebounds and a steal a block in 23 minutes through the Lakers\u2019 first two preseason games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GettyBronny James #9 of the Los Angeles Lakers greets LeBron James #23 and Anthony Davis #3 on the bench.
