Byron Scott believes Bronny James still has a lot of room to grow and can establish himself in the NBA.

The topic of NBA superstar LeBron James leaving the Los Angeles Lakers and joining the Philadelphia 76ers continues to be a hot topic of discussion among fans and media. NBA legend Byron Scott stated that he believes LeBron James' son, Bronny James, can still establish himself in the NBA for a long time, although he still needs to further improve his abilities.

Bronny James, the 21-year-old point guard for the Los Angeles Lakers, played 42 games for Redick's team in the 2025/26 NBA regular season, averaging 2.9 points per game with a field goal percentage of 40.9 and a three-point field goal percentage of 38.6%.

However, after his father LeBron James left the Los Angeles Lakers, Bronny James' career in the NBA and with the Los Angeles Lakers attracted a lot of attention.

NBA legend Byron Scott said, "I still believe Bronny James can play in the NBA. I think he has a very good work ethic and a lot of room for growth. Of course, he needs to improve his shooting and other skills."

"However, I believe he can absolutely serve as the 10th, 12th, or even 13th man in many teams' rotations. I believe Bronny James still has the opportunity to stay in the league for a long time."

In addition, NBA legend Devin George said earlier, "I think the current situation is a good opportunity for Bronny James. I think he needs to step away from his father's influence. I think he should go his own way. Now that he's in the NBA, he should prove to everyone what he can do."

"You can feel that everyone has been overly protective and attentive to him, which really shouldn't be the case. Everyone should put him on the court and let him prove whether he can play or not. We all went through the same thing back then; we were all thrown onto the court without anyone giving us special treatment."
