Not really. He just has his highlights shoved in our faces because of engagement
I thought Bronny James was an overhyped heir/legacy case. But his head is at rim level now

I'm 38...was around for the LBJ (St Vincent-St Mary) era, and saw Bronny (live/in-person) last year, versus Camden. Lebron was nothing short, of "REMARKABLE" in HS. "Man amongst boys", would be an understatement. Nkka looked like a legit NBA player, playing against HS boys. Of course there were obstacles/elite players he faced, but billings consisted of, "LeBron James (& friends from the playground) VS "Whichever elite Powerhouse you wanna pick...(INSERT HERE)". 
Lebron was taking on revered, powerhouses, by himself. And let's be clear, he was takin it to nkkas, cuz he knew they couldn't see him. On a side note, Zion looks the closest to that type of attitude, I've seen, since. As for Bronny, he is NICE (undeniable). Game is polished, poised, etc. But IMO, it's always gonna be a difference between RAW talent, versus talent, which had to be nurtured/harnessed. His father was raw.
Bronny comes off as a talent, who was afforded LeBron as his dad, a basketball court in his basement, the best trainers, the best coaches, etc. He's definitely improving year by year, but it's hard to gauge how great he'll become. He's definitely too passive (like a previous poster said), and that's w/ being the best player on the court. That can't be.
We've seen HS prodigies (better than Bronny), dominate
at the HS level, and go nowhere. It's a huge gap, between "dominate", and "nice", and Bronny is the latter.
Look at the Sebastian Telfair types, who were better than Bronny (at the same point), in HS. Look at a Derrick Rose, Jay Williams, etc. Hoopers like that, would've had their way with Bronny, at the same age.
So it's still hard for me to see.

And he’s only 6’2. To be considered a first round pick will need elite handles and shooting ability. I don’t doubt his IQ or passing at this point.

Ehh, let the kid go to olllege first. He'll get better.
He doesn't need to be judged as tho hes going straight to the nba

It’s literally impossible for him to be as good as his father…it's not happening breh
With the right work ethic he can have himself a nice professional career tho..he has the genes

Mans could be a late bloomer
I mean he didn’t have to get it out the mud like his pops did.
Bron probably should’ve dropped him in the hood when he was 4 months old at some person he hired to take care of him so Bronny could grow in poverty instead of having a silver spoon in his mouth
Saw someone compare him to DeAnthony Melton with elite athleticism and I like that comparison. That feels more fair to the kid than the Jrue comparisons I’ve seen.

I'd say Bronny is 6'3" with the old way doing height (w/shoes)Bronny is 6’3
Any analysis on Bryce who is
15 years old at 6’6?
However, it seems like he's 6'2" without shoes and he doesnt really have long arms like DWade and Donovan Mitchell do.
Bryce does. However, he seems to have got his athleticism from Savannah side. If he's just a late bloomer athletically he could be the one. Its just a wait and see. And Bryce is probably 6'4" without shoes. Best player on the team is 6'5" and he's taller than Bryce.

The Jrue comparisons are way off, Jrue was an absolute dawg in highschool just bullying boys. That's more a body type comp

Sidenote: Im not trying to be
but even though I know for sure DJ Wagner will have a better career than his pops. I cant help but think his dad was a better HS player and wouldnt shock me if he's considered a better college player when its all said and done. Dajuan was dominant in HS. Yea the JRue comparison fall short because they are basing off JRUE in the NBA not being a dominant driver of the basketball. However, in HS he was a beast. He's a guy who had to adjust to what he can and cant do in the pros. Right now Bronny doesnt have that in his game at all.
I think if he could truly play PG he'd be viewed as a much better prospect.

Perfect breakdown. Bronny has become pretty damn good, better than a lot of us thought he would be but that NBA tier of player is just another level especially the ones who become consistent starters/stars/superstars
