Bronny James didn’t see much playing time as a rookie. He played in only 27 games, averaging 6.7 minutes per game.
Despite not seeing much time on the floor, Bronny spoke about his role next season. He discussed how he can earn more time in the Lakers‘ rotation.
“It’s made me think about being more aggressive on that end of the floor. But I can’t lose that defensive drive. That will get me on the floor because there’s gonna be guys that can go out and score 15-20 a game,” Bronny said.
“I’m most likely not going to be that guy right now. But to get myself on the floor, I have to be a defensive menace, and that’s my main focus. It’s been shown that I know how to score the ball a little bit, so I stand true to that, but also focus on the defensive end.”
Bronny explains how he expects to be a mainstay in the Lakers’ rotation this coming season.
