Despite fans' expectations that Bronny will join his father LeBron James in the NBA next season, recent projections suggest that he's more likely to be drafted in the class of 2025.

Sports host Ryen Russillo, on 'The Ryen Russillo Podcast,' questioned whether the USC star was ready to enter the NBA based on his recent performances. Russillo highlighted the glaring shortcomings in Bronny's game.

“I’ve watched a few (USC) games (this season), and unless you’re looking for him, you don’t really notice him.
"He’s a freshman, but he’s a role player, who, for a few years now, we’ve been talking about what he projects at as an NBA player, and he doesn’t stand out on this ‘SC team again. That's not very good."
