The Lakers signed Nick Smith Jr. before the season started as a depth piece in the backcourt. With Luka Doncic and LeBron James out, Smith has been called on recently (30 minutes in the past two games) to provide backup point guard minutes to Austin Reaves. He's played more minutes than Bronny James, who fans figured would be in the mix after the injuries to the stars. Instead, Bronny is still fighting for minutes and not doing much when he's given them, evidenced by his 0 total points. It's been a rough go for the second-year guard.
