Maybe but his physical stats are underwhelming too. He's listed as a SG at only 6'1.5".

And guys can succeed at that height aka Brunson or Van Vleet

Are you saying he'll be like them? Sounds like you're a huge Bronny fan.

The narrative that he isn’t a competent player when at the combine he did well

Not necessarily. I think his college production/draft stock were hurt by the cardiac issue he had right at the start of
