Bronny James continues to ease into his development with Lakers

Bronny James is seemingly getting more comfortable with each game in a Lakers uniform. His consistent reps with the South Bay Lakers have helped him get there. Over the last six games with LA, Bronny has made at least one shot.

Even though he has mostly been part of the lineups at the end of games, he's never looked more ready to contribute, especially in comparison to his early-season struggles. Bronny also played one of his two most meaningful games in the Purple and Gold on Friday against Denver.

With Four starters and six rotation players in total sidelined, JJ Redick trusted Bronny with 15 minutes against Nikola Jokic and a healthy Nuggets team. The 55th pick didn't disappoint, scoring five points and two rebounds. He had five in the first quarter alone after making a 3 over Nikola Jokic and drawing a shooting foul. Bronny finished with a +/- of +7 in a five-point loss in that game.
