BRONNY JAMES is set for a major role chance at the LA Lakers.
The son of legend LeBron James struggled to impress in his rookie season after being picked 55th in last year’s draft.

He failed to impress as a role player with only an average of 2.3 points, 0.7 rebounds and 0.8 assists every game.
The Lakers could rightly be frustrated, having handed him the second-most lucrative contract in the NBA for a second-round pick.
However, it has been predicted by a Western Conference executive that he will be part of the NBA roster for a while to come.
This is down to his showing in the developmental league.
The exec told Athlon Sports: “I don’t think there’s any doubt that’s their plan.
“I know the guy gets a lot of grief because of who his dad is.
“But we’ve seen a lot of tape on him and the fact is, he was a lot better player in April than he was in October, and definitely in July.
“He’s 20 years old. He had a whole year where his development was thrown all out of whack.
“But he can defend the perimeter and he showed he can shoot the three.
“If he can show that wasn’t a fluke, he is going to start getting 10, 15 minutes a night because the team is going to feel like they can trust him.
“I think he is going to do all that. He is going to be a regular for them next year.”
Bronny will have competition at the Lakers with Luka Doncic being acquired last season.
But the team will be hoping to bounce back after their first-round playoff exit to the Golden State Warriors.
