"He is very good with the ball": Bronny James, key for JJ Redick in the Lakers

The role of Bronny James in the Los Angeles Lakers continues to grow, and his coach JJ Redick doesn't hide the confidence he is placing in him. At a time when the team has had to face important absences, the young guard has started to respond with maturity and presence on the court, earning valuable minutes in the Angelino rotation.

Redick specifically highlighted his defensive work and game reading. “I thought he did really well defending with the ball. He got a steal without it, but his individual work was excellent. In recent days, I've seen him as a force in terms of containment and physicality”, explained the coach after the victory over Miami. He also emphasized a key play: “When Luka was double-teamed, Bronny was the next man, attacked the closeout, got into the paint, read the defense, and ended up finding his teammate for an open three-pointer. It was probably the play of the game”.

Although his statistics weren't spectacular — two points, two assists, and three steals — his impact was evident on both sides of the court. Redick particularly valued his energy and discipline in crucial moments, a sign that he believes in his growth within the group.

More minutes against the Blazers

Bronny enjoyed nearly 20 minutes of action against the Trail Blazers last night (career-high assists), confirming the coaching staff's intention to give him continuity. With Austin Reaves and Luka Doncic out, the son of the veteran star assumed responsibilities and seized the opportunity, showing that he can contribute beyond the name he bears.
