Bronny James, son of NBA champion LeBron James, is focusing on enhancing a specific aspect of his basketball skills in preparation for the 2025-26 season with the Lakers.
Bronny James, the son of NBA legend LeBron James, is gearing up for the 2025-26 season with the Los Angeles Lakers and has identified an area for improvement - his skills as a point guard. Drafted by the Lakers with the 55th pick in the 2024 NBA draft, Bronny struggled with handling the ball during his rookie season. Despite being listed as a shooting guard on the team's depth chart, the Lakers are keen on giving him more reps as a point guard in the upcoming season. Bronny himself has acknowledged the need for improvement, stating that he wants to take control of the offense and handle the ball more during games. He believes that working on his on-ball skills will be crucial for his development. The summer league provided an opportunity for Bronny to work on his craft against high-level competition. He participated in the 2025 summer league, using the platform to hone his skills and prepare for the challenges ahead. In addition, Bronny announced a summer training program focusing on enhancing his offensive skills, particularly his confidence in bringing the ball up the court. He is comfortable playing off the ball but wants to become more effective when taking the lead. Despite his potential, Bronny may find himself third or fourth on the Lakers' depth chart in the 2025-26 season, similar to his rookie year. Players like Dalton Knecht, Marcus Smart, and Gabe Vincent could see minutes ahead of him. Head coach J.J. Redick used Bronny in limited minutes during his rookie season, and it's unclear how much he'll use James in his second season. However, Bronny remains determined to make the most of his opportunities and prove his worth on the court. Bronny and his father made NBA history by playing together on the same team in the 2024-25 season. Despite the pressure, Bronny showed resilience, playing in the Lakers' regular roster and the G League. Bronny is best when he plays off the ball and can be a slasher attacking the rim. However, he believes that improving his on-ball skills will allow him to be more versatile and effective on the court. After the summer league, Bronny spoke with Lakers' insider Mike Trudell about his plans for the upcoming season. He expressed his desire to continue working hard and improving his game, with a focus on his on-ball skills. As the 2025-26 season approaches, Bronny James is preparing to take his game to the next level. With a clear focus on improving his point guard skills, he is poised to make a significant impact for the Los Angeles Lakers.
