Bronny James is having a tough time in the NBA Summer League.
His performance has been below expectations, with an average of 4.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 1.3 steals over four games. His shooting stats are also poor: 7-for-31 from the field (23%) and 0-for-15 from three-point range.
During the Lakers’ loss to the Celtics on Monday night, Bronny air-balled two three-point attempts . This has been a common occurrence for him throughout the first few games.

Social media is buzzing with reactions to his struggles. Some fans and analysts are questioning if drafting him was a mistake by the Lakers.
Criticism From All Sides:
Even Jaylen Brown seemed unimpressed while watching courtside with Kysre Gondrezick and Angel Reese. He was caught on camera suggesting that Bronny might not be cut out for professional basketball.
“I don’t think Bronny is a pro”

Fans might wonder if this criticism will motivate or discourage him further.
It looks like Bronny’s immediate future may lie with the South Bay Lakers in the G-League rather than on an NBA roster next season. He still has three more chances to prove himself in the Summer League, starting with Wednesday’s game against Zaccharie Risacher and the Hawks.
What do you think about Bronny’s performance so far?
