Fans Unite In Agreement Over Lakers Player Who Stole Limelight From Bronny James

Los Angeles Lakers rookie Bronny James finally had a solid game in the Summer League on Wednesday night against the Atlanta Hawks. He even drained his first 3-pointers in Las Vegas. However, one of his teammates stole the limelight with an even bigger performance.

Lakers center Colin Castleton led the Lakers in their 87-82 victory over Atlanta with 17 points on 8/9 shooting from the field. He also grabbed 12 boards, dished out six assists, and added two steals in 25 minutes of floor duty.

James, meanwhile, had 12 points on 5/11 shooting to go with a rebound and a steal.

Naturally, James got plenty of attention, but fans are not sleeping on Castleton either, as they are showing the former Florida Gators star some love online.

“there's a solid chance colin castleton is LA's best backup big option this season”

“Big man hooped today”

“Better than embiid”

“What a beast in the paint!”

“No trades by Pelinka because he already has the big of the future wow”

“Going to be a solid big for the Lakers, which they need someone to back up Anthony Davis.”

Castleton went undrafted in 2023 before the Lakers signed him to a two-way deal. They inked him to another two-way contract earlier this month.

Last season, Castleton appeared in 16 games for the Lakers and averaged 14.6 points and 7.3 rebounds per 36 minutes.
