After appearing in the G League Winter Showcase, rookie guard Bronny James, along with forward Maxwell Lewis, has been called up by the Lakers.

After he was recalled by the Lakers on Sunday, NBA insider Marc Stein reported what he had heard around the league about James' performance and what he needs to improve. Apparently, the prominent view is that the 20-year-old needs to work on his "point guard play."

Bronny is coming off several strong performances with the South Bay Lakers. He's averaging 20.6 points, three rebounds and two assists in his last three games in the G League, including an impressive 30-point outing on Dec. 12, where he went 13 of 23 from the floor.
