It's more likely Bronny James has been underrated due to his father than being overrated now.

my guess is you haven't ever seen him play against top HS competition. as long as you have people saying he's a top 10 pick and he's making McD's AA games, and Hoop Summit teams, etc - he's most definitely NOT underrated. i guess one could argue he's properly rated if they wanted play the Cy role of contrarian, but not sure it's even possible to be underrated as a HS player when you are given those accolades.

On his own merit, Bronny James is likely not worth a FRP.
But if picking him means 1-3 years of a still productive LeBron James - or holding whatever team wants LeBron ransom for his draft rights - he may absolutely be worth a late lotto or mid-first round pick.

I guess we will see. He looks like a 6'3/6'4 combo guard with high level athletic tools who defends and has an all-around game to me.

Playing for the Ignite next year. If he went #1 overall he'd be the first American born white player to go #1 since Kent Benson in 1977.

He looks like a Franz Wagner / Gordon Hayward hybrid

Solid boring pick, that I am excited about.
Boring from the standpoint of likely not really ever being an all-star etc, but very likely he is your starting PG for a decade and a hell of a wing defender.
You could do MUCH worse.
