Sure, this means nothing in the NBA landscape, but historically he's doing just fine for a bottom of the 2nd round pick, for those overly concerned about the "meritocracy" of the NBA.

Who are some other guys selected in the NBA draft based on 4.8 PPG, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game in college?

Examples have already been given in this thread. Plus, there’s been hundreds of fellas drafted who never played a single game of college ball.

Hugo Besson was the final pick of the 2022 draft. He was selected 57th overall. Milwaukee and the Heat held the 58th and 59th picks that year and both teams declined to draft anyone.

Hugo Besson is 23 years old and has never appeared in an NBA or G League game. He also has the distinction of being traded three times since he was drafted.

But yeah, Bronny was a wasted pick....
