Recently, a Western Conference executive revealed anonymously that Brownie James is expected to become a regular rotation player for the Los Angeles Lakers in the new season. The executive believes the Lakers have made it clear that the young defender has been included in their future plans.

The executive said when talking about Brownie's team positioning: "This is their established plan." He predicts that if Brownie can continue to improve, he is expected to average 10-15 minutes of playing time as the coaching staff builds confidence in his abilities.

Browny has shown certain potential during the Development League South Bay Lakers, and his 39-point performance in a single game against the Santa Cruz Warriors was extremely amazing, which not only proves his scoring ability, but also increases the outside world's expectations for his NBA career.

In addition, Lakers reporter Dave McMenamin is also optimistic about Brownie's future. He believes that Brownie is expected to grow into a rotation player in the middle of the season. A clear training plan will help Brownie adapt to NBA strength and take on more responsibilities step by step.

The 2024 rookie's development path is different from other regular rookies. His limited NBA playing time and progress in the development league games left a deep impression on team observers and executives.
