Bronny James of the Los Angeles Lakers played his fourth Summer League game on Monday night.
During the game, he scored 2 points and went 1-of-5 from the field, with 3 rebounds, 1 assists, and 2 turnovers.
It was yet another tough night for James, who has yet to light up the scoreboard like some people had hoped.
On Tuesday’s “Undisputed,” Skip Bayless sounded really concerned about the son of LeBron and seemed concerned that he doesn’t have what it takes to make it in the NBA.
“I’ve gone from trying to evaluate Bronny as, ‘How good he can be,’ to ‘Can he play?’” Bayless said.

Bayless still proposed the idea that James will be much better in the NBA because he will be playing alongside veteran stars.
He feels that the young player is someone who shines brighter when the rest of his squad is stronger.
In other words, Bayless doesn’t feel the Summer League is right for James.
Before Monday’s game, James had 15 points on 6-of-26 from the field during his first three games.
He had also gone 0-of-12 from the three-point range too.
It’s not all bad news for James, who has shown some impressive defensive skills.
In fact, he is a bit better than most Summer League players when it comes to locking down opponents, even though he had no blocks on Monday evening.
But being successful in the NBA requires both defensive and offensive skills.
He will not get far if he isn’t capable on both ends of the court.
It’s still too soon to tell how James will do when the regular season kicks off but it’s become abundantly clear that he is having a rough time in the Summer League.
