After a solid showing on Day 1 of the NBA Draft Combine on Monday, Bronny James was quieter during Tuesday's scrimmage.

Boxscore from game one of the NBA draft combine. Competitive game that produced a lot of strong performances.<br><br>Standouts:<br><br>-Creighton's Baylor Scheierman<br>-Colorado's KJ Simpson<br>-USF's Jonathan Mogbo<br>-Illawarra's AJ Johnson<br>-Washington St's Isaac Jones<br>-Kentucky's Antonio Reeves <a href="https://t.co/34SxOACaXg">pic.twitter.com/34SxOACaXg</a>

James didn't have many opportunities to impact the game, as his team rode the hot hand. Baylor Scheierman and Antonio Reeves both finished with 17 points, and JT Toppin added 11 points and 10 rebounds.

The lackluster showing for James came a day after he impressed teams with his 40.5-inch vertical leap and his three-point shooting in Monday's drills.

Fans on social media were left wanting more from James following Tuesday's showing:

Scrimmage wraps with Bronny James scoring 4 points and having 4 rebounds. DIdn't capitalize on the positive momentum from yesterday's drills/athletic testing. He's scheduled to talk to media later today.

Bronny did not impress in the combine 5v5 ????????‍♂️ I've been a huge supporter clearly and love his upside. But I'd love to see him go play for Kelvin Sampson to help increase his activity level <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/NBACombine?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#NBACombine</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/bronnyjames?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#bronnyjames</a>

James has until May 29 to decide whether he will stay in the 2024 draft or return to college. He has been drawing interest from teams hoping to pair him with his legendary father LeBron James, but he needs time to develop.

The youngster will look to put forth a better effort as the NBA Draft Combine continues on Wednesday.
