It's more than obvious Bronny's BBIQ and skill level have been hyped up. Bronny should have come into the NBA on the humble instead of having his father and Klutch Sports hype him up more than any other 2024 NBA draft pick. Scottie Pippen Jr would have been the perfect blueprint of a NBA star's son coming into the NBA and earning everything he gets. Guard Boogie Ellis, who actually started in the backcourt at USC, would have been a better second round pick for the Lakers while brining Bronny in on a two way contract. But LBJ's ego wouldn't allow that to happen. LBJ's had to have Bronny hogging the media spotlight from other 2024 draft picks who have actually earned the right to be recognized based on their basketball related particulars.

Bronny would've been more respected coming in as an undrafted free agent or staying in college and improving his game to the point where he became a legitimate top prospect sought after by multiple organizations. Now he's forced to grow up before he needed too and he's under a magnifying glass because of the way he entered the league
