Recently, Lakers Chief Assistant Nate McMillan participated in the podcast program "The Sports Shop with Reese and K-Mac". Looking ahead to Brownie James's prospects for entering the second season of his career, McMillan said: "We have seen him grow a lot from his first year to now. I think he has performed very well in this summer league. Young players like him, facing the pressure he entered the league last year, were incredible. His game was hard to come by in the Las Vegas summer league. Fans have given him great support.

"He spent a lot of time in the G League last season and I think it helped him a lot. You can see his confidence as he plays this summer league and plays every game. He was more relaxed than last year. Everyone might have been very nervous in that situation last year, but this year he was obviously more calm.

"His shots have never been bad, but you can see his confidence improving. He can not only hit the shot, but also break through to the basket. On the defensive end, we also hope he can challenge himself and strengthen the pressure on the ball. I really like Brownie, he is an excellent young man, and we expect him to get some playing time this season."
