Development has been the key word when it came to discussing Bronny James’ career trajectory since he got drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers.

He has had some stints with Coach JJ Redick and Co. on the main roster but it’s the USC Trojans alum’s NBA G League performances that have really caught people’s attention.

Bronny James just dropped 39 points on the Santa Cruz Warriors during their March 25 matchup.

Immediately after that, the South Bay Lakers sensation followed it up by dropping 17 points and dishing out nine assists.

This came as a surprise to no one because the ex-USC player has been given a lot of opportunities to thrive in the NBA G League.

In this second game of a back-to-back against the Warriors, the Lakers rookie played 35 minutes and it paid dividends.

His stat line more than proved that because he also racked up six rebounds and two steals, per NBA G League Stats.

There are still things that he needs to improve on. For instance, the Lakers rookie shot a horrendous 27.8% from the field.

The bright spot was that his three-point shooting stood out and his outside stroke found the bottom of the net in 41.7% of his shot attempts.

Overall, James looks like he is thriving with the NBA G League squad.

He is averaging 22.4 points on a 46% field goal percentage while also dropping 5.1 assists, grabbing 5.2 rebounds, and getting two steals.

South Bay will return to action on Friday when they will face the team at the bottom of the standings, the Iowa Wolves.

Will the Lakers rookie be able to top his career high in this next game?
