Bronny James makes Luka Doncic statement amid strong G League form

The victory snapped a four-game losing streak for South Bay, which sits 14th in the Western Conference with a 6-14 record. This win was crucial for a team that has been struggling but now appears poised to turn a corner with James' development and the recent additions of Cole Swider and Stanley Johnson.

With each game, the 6-foot-3 point guard appears more comfortable and composed. Following Saturday’s win, he credited some of his recent growth to observing Lakers superstar Luka Doncic. He pointed to Doncic's playing style as a key source of inspiration, noting his patience and unpredictability on the court.

"Just his patience. Just being able to be unpredictable. You never know what he’s going to do. That’s the best thing I’ve seen so far from. I just keep trying to pick up stuff from him," James told Raj Chipalu of ClutchPoints.

Through six regular-season games, James is averaging 22.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 2.2 steals per game while shooting an impressive 42.6 percent from three-point range. This marks a significant improvement from his performance in the Tip-Off Tournament, where he struggled, shooting just 36.6 percent from the field and 21.2 percent from deep.

It’s not uncommon for young players to adjust and improve as a G League season progresses, particularly for a 20-year-old rookie still acclimating to the professional level. But James appears to be thriving in South Bay’s low-pressure environment, allowing him to develop at his own pace — one game at a time.
