Bronny James has never had as good of an opportunity to quiet the criticism as he does right now with the Los Angeles Lakers. His path to playing time has been paved, and the perfect chance to prove he belongs is here.
Gabe Vincent will miss several weeks, working his way back from an ankle injury. JJ Redick does not have a player on his roster to replace his presence in anything close to an ideal shape or form. What Redick does have is James.
There is no real offensive pressure here for Bronny to overextend himself past beyond what his capabilities are.
