ESPN's Brian Windhorst feels the Lakers' plan for Bronny James to move between the G League and the NBA is "detrimental" for James.

The Lakers drafting Bronny James was always going to become a sideshow for Los Angeles this season when it came to LeBron, but new information about Bronny’s G League assignment is beyond the pale. ESPN’s Brian Windhorst reports that the Lakers rookie is getting phenomenal star treatment during his time with the South Bay Lakers of the G League.

Bronny James is getting more special treatment from the Lakers. LeBron’s eldest son, whom the Lakers took late in the second round of this year’s NBA draft, will only be playing in G League home games and won’t be getting on commercial flights for the South Bay Lakers’ road contests,
