The first preseason game played a disaster-level performance. Is Brownie s prospects for the Lakers in the new season worrying?

In a previous NBA preseason game, the Phoenix Suns defeated the Los Angeles Lakers who played at home 103-81, achieving a good start in the preseason, while the Lakers suffered such a crushing defeat in their first preseason game.

In this game, the Lakers' substitute backcourt star Bronny James' performance was completely disaster-level. Brownie played 23 minutes and 54 seconds in the game, made 1 of 12 shots, 1 of 8 from outside the three-point line, and 5 of 6 free throws, scoring 8 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, and had 2 turnovers, with a plus-negative value of -12. Brownie got a lot of mobile phones on the offensive end, but his scoring ability and shooting ability were not fully utilized. He wasted a lot of mobile phones on the offensive end, and his ability in passing and organization was also very limited. He could be said to have completely dragged down the team on the offensive end. Brownie is considered a good defender, but at least in this game, his characteristics on the defensive end were not fully demonstrated, and his defensive contribution was also very limited. Overall, Brownie has no way to do a good job on both offense and defense, and his poor performance has also led to the team's miserable defeat to a certain extent.

In the NBA regular season last season, Brownie made a total of 27 appearances in 82 games, averaging 6.7 minutes per game, averaging 2.3 points, 0.7 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.3 steals and 0.1 blocks, and 0.5 turnovers and 0.5 fouls. His shooting percentage was 31.3%, a three-point shooting percentage of 28.1%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 78.6%. In the NBA Development League last season, Brownie played 18 times for the Lakers' subordinate team, Nanwan Lakers, with averaging 31.4 minutes per game, with averaging 18.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.4 blocks, and 3.3 turnovers and 2.4 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 41.9%, three-point shooting percentage of 33.6%, and free throw shooting percentage of 76.9%. In the previous NBA Summer League, Brownie played 6 times for the Lakers Summer United, averaging 20.4 minutes per game, with an average of 11.5 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1 steal, 0.2 blocks, and 3.2 turnovers and 1.7 fouls. His shooting percentage was 44.4%, a three-point shooting percentage of 29.6%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 81.3%.

Browny's performance in the NBA Development League last season and during the previous NBA Summer League was actually quite highlighted, which also makes everyone look forward to his performance in the new season. Everyone also feels that as Brownie gradually grows, he will also have the opportunity to get more playing time and performance opportunities in the NBA arena. However, in this preseason game, Brownie directly played such an outrageous performance, which seemed a bit disappointing. I don’t know if Brownie can adjust his form in time and perform at a higher level in the next preseason.
