Bronny James and Zaire Wade bring the curious onlookers, but they are not major factors on the team. Wade is a senior who didn’t play much in either game. Bronny is just a freshman, so it’s unfair to critique his game too much at this point. Still, he took only two shots in limited playing time on Friday, hitting a 3-pointer with under 20 seconds remaining in a 15-point win. On Saturday, he scored five points in 18 minutes. (To his credit, he has had moments this year, including the game-winning shot against his dad’s alma mater.) “He’s growing slowly,” Chevalier says. “We want him to do more so he can get himself ready. He’s basically a sophomore now because it’s the second half of his freshman year. He just has to play defense at a higher level, understand the plays and then continue to grow slowly.”
