LeBron James’s son Bronny James is starting to show promise. He’s not quite there yet, but it’s clear that he’s getting better in the G-League. In his most recent game, which was his G-League road debut, he scored a career-high, doubling his previous best score.
Bronny James, who had been averaging 8.7 points per game in his previous G-League games, scored an amazing 30 points in his latest match. He made 13 of 23 shots and 3 of 9 from three-point range. He led his team in the first half, scoring 13 points in just nine minutes, helping the South Bay Lakers take a 12-point lead.
Bronny then added 17 more points in the second half, but the Lakers couldn’t stop a late comeback from the Valley Suns, losing 100-106. In addition to his 30 points, Bronny also grabbed three rebounds and made two assists.
A career-high night for Bronny James! The @Lakers draftee made his road debut, scoring a game-high 30 points on 57% shooting. Bronny, coming off a previous career-high of 16 points, is now averaging 14 PPG, 3.5 RPG, and 2.5 APG. 👏🙌 pic.twitter.com/5QnpeEZQTp

@HogFanPage mentioned, “First time I’ve thought Bronny may actually have game to be in the league. He has a ways to go, but he can ball. G league is pretty much his college and he’s come a looong way. These highlights look like he was ahead of the game.”
