Here is JJ Redick’s Take On Bronny James’ Terrible Summer League Performance
Bronny James was chosen by the Los Angeles Lakers with the 55th pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. Expectations for the 19-year-old were already low due to his underwhelming college performance, but his showing in the Summer League has been even more disappointing than anticipated. A lengthy clip of Bronny’s lowlights from the Summer League went viral this week, highlighting his struggles.
This situation prompted questions to his father, LeBron James, about how he would handle Bronny’s poor performance if it continues into the regular season. New Lakers coach J.J. Redick also faced inquiries about Bronny’s performance.
JJ REDICK’S COMMENTS
Redick emphasized the importance of focusing on the process rather than outcomes. “You have to let go of outcomes and enjoy the process of being in the NBA,” Redick stated. “He’s going to be a big part of our player development program. We’re going to invest heavily in him. He needs to fall in love with the process and not worry about the results.”
Despite the challenges, Redick maintained a positive outlook. “Overall, we’ve liked what we’ve seen in practice and the Summer League,” he added.
This positive spin from Redick suggests the Lakers are committed to Bronny’s development and hopeful for his future contributions.
