Bronny James got the start in his first Summer League game, but that was just about the lone bright spot.

The son of the NBA all-time leading scorer LeBron James was taken by his father's Los Angeles Lakers in last week's NBA Draft with the 55th selection, which has been a heavily debated topic.

On one hand, it's historic. Lebron and Bronny are the first father-son duo to be active players in the NBA.

Yet, talk of nepotism has been rampant since the team hired James' podcast cohost, JJ Redick, as its head coach.

Bronny was on the court for the Lakers on Saturday in San Francisco against the Sacramento Kings for his Summer League debut in his first chance to show what he's got.

James scored just four points in the contest on 2-for-9 shooting, while grabbing two rebounds and handing out two assists. He also was a minus-16 on the floor, and the Kings took home a 108-94 win.

In his first press conference as a Laker, Bronny said he didn't get "that much of an opportunity" to "showcase what I can really do" in his lone season at USC, where he averaged less than five points per game.
