During a sit-down with Bleacher Report, the young prospect was asked about his ideal rating.

"I feel like I deserve a respectable 80, 81," Bronny responded.

For a rookie, such a rating is quite uncommon in the history of NBA 2K. The highest-rated rookie ever was San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama, who had an 84 rating before the 2023-24 season.

Wemby has delivered, as he clinched the 2024 Rookie of the Year Award.

Bronny, who previously played for USC, entered his name into the 2024 NBA Draft.

His draft journey gained momentum during this week's combine, where his ratings received a boost thanks to stellar measurements, shooting prowess, and good performances in scrimmages.

Despite modest college stats, averaging 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game, Bronny's potential remains evident. However, his path encountered a significant obstacle when he suffered a cardiac arrest during a practice session at USC last July.

Following medical clearance from the NBA, he is now set to pursue his NBA dreams in the upcoming draft.
