The amount of attention and scrutiny Bronny James received to start his NBA career was unprecedented for any late second-round pick.
I think he's had a really productive rookie season. He's gotten a lot better. We can see that.
It's different to not play every night and particularly for a second round pick, it's very common for them to sort of go back and forth between the NBA roster and the G League.
Bronny is an even clearer example. He's had some stellar performances for the South Bay Lakers.
