Lakers Assistant Nate McMillan Bullish on Bronny James' Potential Rotation Role in Year 2

Lakers lead assistant Nate McMillan has expressed significant optimism regarding Bronny James' development, indicating he could see real minutes in the team's rotation during his second NBA season. James notably improved his confidence and play during a strong Summer League performance, which followed dedicated development time with the South Bay Lakers in the G League. Despite the Lakers adding veteran backcourt depth, McMillan believes in James' defensive potential and expects him to compete for playing time, marking a considerable step up from his rookie year.
