Arenas cited the play of two former Hall of Fame pass-first point guards as the kind of deferential performers after whom Bronny James needs to model his game. Though he isn't projected to have those league superstars' upside, Bronny James can still ape their ethos — or so Arenas thinks.

Bronny James's initial stint at the NBA level, however, was a short one as he was sent down to the franchise's G League team, the South Bay Lakers, last week. He scored six points with four assists and five turnovers in his debut this past Saturday.

The Lakers recalled Bronny, Maxwell Lewis and Jalen Hood-Schifino to their roster from South Bay for their clash against the Raptors. It’s highly unlikely any of them see playing time unless the game turns into a blowout by the time the fourth quarter rolls around.
