Bronny James continues to develop his game in the Summer League. This time, he had an up-and-down performance in the Los Angeles Lakers’ 87-78 loss to the Boston Celtics.

Despite the loss, Bronny showed some promise. He also showed he needs to work on some things, as well.

For the good, Bronny scored 18 points on 7-13 shooting. This includes finishing with a fancy Euro-step layup in the fourth quarter.

As for the bad, Bronny struggled from deep shooting 1-4. This wasn’t too terrible, but his eight turnovers are another story.
