Bronny James is in a very vulnerable situation. On the one hand, he considers himself fortunate to be able to play in the NBA with his father. However, since LeBron James is his father, Bronny’s every action will be closely watched. That’s already the case before the regular season has even begun.
Actually, it started even before he was drafted. After an unlucky single season at USC, many supporters didn’t think he was worthy of being chosen. In any case, he was signed by the Los Angeles Lakers specifically to play alongside LeBron.

Even his detractors were taken aback by Bronny’s preseason performance, despite the fact that it was always anticipated that he would struggle to secure regular playing time in his first campaign.
Some fans have uncovered an old tweet from LeBron that asserted Bronny was superior to a few NBA players he was seeing in 2023 because of his incredible efficiency and counting numbers.
Bronny James has not contributed offensively
Given that Bronny has, to put it mildly, appeared out of place on the Los Angeles Lakers during the preseason, LeBron may have spoken too soon. Since Bronny is only 20 years old and lacks a great deal of playing experience, nothing is definitive, of course.
However, the fact that Bronny has failed to make any offensive contributions is still worrisome. His strength was probably defense, but he won’t play much in his first season if he can’t do anything offensively.
