The Los Angeles Lakers lack athleticism on their current roster, but Bronny James has plenty. The 20-year-old can get up and has the quickness to keep up with the many talented point guards in the Western Conference. James showed continued growth in summer league, but it is his athletic ability that may get him on the floor this season.
Fans have seen athletic backup guards carve out significant roles in recent years. Head coach JJ Redick made it clear that he wants Bronny to play like two undersized guards who make a living playing hard and being athletic.
