Bronny James

Whether he’s stringing together a seldom-seen box score along South Bay’s G League scene, or unlocking a new piece of the NBA’s rigorous puzzle, Bronny James’ rookie campaign has become one defined by navigating through heavy pressure. Putting said talents to practice on-court against the Milwaukee Bucks’ defense, 2024’s No. 55 pick predictably commands every eye as he works through a crowded pick-and-roll maze atop the 3-point arc. Cool and composed through it all, James eventually reaps its rewards through an uncontested pull-up trifecta, pocketing another highlight during his best game in the Los Angeles Lakers’ colors to date. Taking advantage of Los Angeles’ shorthanded rotation, Milwaukee eventually found its footing, securing a needed road victory on March 20, 2025. James, though, wouldn’t be defined of history, as he recorded a career-best 17 points (on 7-of-10 shooting), paired with a three-rebound, five-assist, one-block, two-triple complement, becoming L.A.’s first rookie since 1979 to reach those points-assist-efficiency parameters.
