I think both sides of the argument can be true.
Elohim was the best player on that Sierra Canyon team and now he just averages 2 points at USC.
Amari Bailey was better than Bronny in HS, college and averaged 20+ in the G League....he's no longer on a guaranteed contract.
Caleb Foster and Mikey Williams were clearly better HS players and now are just rotation players in college.
Bronny has been given the opportunity, but at least since January he's finally taking advantage of it.
I think that was the bigger question. Was he too deferential to even make the most of the opportunity that others didnt get. At least he's doing that now.
When he was playing in the Summer League I had questions of it he'd even try to score 20 points in a G League game. So progress
*I do think if Mikey or Caleb or Amari were "forced" into lead guard/30 mins they'd score 20+ in G League as well. However good to see he's capable of doing that as well.
