Right now, Bronny's confidence is down. It's clear. I said that before this last game. He has to find his confidence. In order to do that, you gotta go back and watch your tapes when you play well.
Paul Pierce said on FS1 Undisputed

Pierce’s advice comes after Bronny’s latest game, where he had two points, three rebounds, and one assist in 25 minutes of play, shooting 1/5 from the field. Despite his struggles, Bronny will have a lot of attention on him in his rookie year, given his high profile as the son of the great LeBron James.

Pierce’s guidance may be just what Bronny needs to turn his game around. With his wealth of experience and knowledge of the game, Pierce is a valuable resource for any young player looking to improve.

Bronny James may end up in G-League as he struggles in Summer League

Bronny James is facing a harsh reality check in the NBA Summer League. Despite his famous father’s legacy, Bronny’s performance has been underwhelming, with a dismal 23.1% shooting percentage and 0/12 from the three-point line in three games with the Lakers. 

His struggles have led to speculation that he may end up playing for the South Bay Lakers, the Los Angeles Lakers’ G League affiliate, rather than the main team. Bronny has acknowledged his struggles, admitting that he’s in a slump, but remains positive and eager to play at any level.

I feel like I'm in a little slump right now.
Bronny James told the reporters

His agent, Rich Paul, had previously stated that Bronny would only consider a “real deal” and not a two-way contract, which would allow him to play in the G League. However, Bronny’s performance may not justify a spot on the Lakers’ main roster, leaving the G League as a more likely option.
