Here’s what people were saying about Bronny’s lack of playing time:
@ldpadilla: “Nahh bronny don’t come in… just develop your game in the gleague then request a trade next season”
@thousandthreee: “put bronny in man”
@OffTheGlasNBA: “GIVE ME BRONNY MINUTES OVER NICK SMITH AND GABE VINCENT.”
@jaybaudelaire_: “I don’t understand why Bronny doesn’t play any minutes at all. When he was consistently in the rotation at the beginning of the year outside of one game, he gave them quality minutes and was their second best on ball defender and 3rd best passer..”
@iloveflagg: “i feel so bad for bronny ngl????”
