On Monday, LeBron was asked about his son's recent stretch of games (h/t Jovan Buha).

LeBron: "I think every moment he gets out there, he's just getting more and more comfortable with the pro game. The physicality of it, the nuances of it, the speed of it. He's always had the IQ for the game. As he continues to get stronger and he continues to get more game-play, and he continues to get more and more comfortable, I think what we're seeing is what a lot of people, I don't think understood, is how his play-making ability is. When he's handling the ball, pick and rolls, in transition, getting his guys involved."

Right now, the 20-year-old rookie is averaging 14.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.3 steals per contest while shooting 37.9% from the field and 28.3% from the three-point range in his first nine G League games.

He has appeared in seven NBA games for the Lakers.
