The Los Angeles Lakers are expected to solidify Bronny James as a regular rotation player next season.
Before Bronny James' first professional season, many questioned whether he could become a legitimate NBA player. However, his debut pro season has given plenty of reason to believe he has what it takes to develop into a solid NBA contributor.

According to NBA insider Sean Deveney of Athlon Sports, a Western Conference executive revealed that the Los Angeles Lakers are "dead-set" on incorporating Bronny into their rotation next season.
"The fact is, he was a lot better player in April than he was in October, and definitely in July," Western Conference exec said.
"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," he added.
Bronny James had an impressive G-League season, averaging 21.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 5.5 assists per game.
He also showed flashes of NBA potential, most notably on March 20th against the Bucks, when he scored 17 points and dished out 5 assists.
