“It’s made me think about being more aggressive on that end of the floor. But I can’t lose that defensive drive. That will get me on the floor because there’s gonna be guys that can go out and score 15-20 a game,” Bronny said.

“I’m most likely not going to be that guy right now. But to get myself on the floor, I have to be a defensive menace, and that’s my main focus. It’s been shown that I know how to score the ball a little bit, so I stand true to that, but also focus on the defensive end.”

Bronny explains how he expects to be a mainstay in the Lakers’ rotation this coming season.
