When you look at the numbers, Brown isn’t wrong. In two games in the G League, Bronny has averaged 28.5 minutes, 5.0 points, 3.0 assists, 2.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.0 blocks. That’s paltry compared to what Olivari did in four games.

Bronny performed even worse in the NBA proper, averaging 2.7 minutes, 0.7 points, 0.3 assists, 0.2 total rebounds and 0.2 steals in six games.

Gilbert Arenas, who was also on the podcast, praised Olivari’s journey and believes his position and performance with the South Bay Lakers is thanks to his hard work.

“Quincy earned a job when he was accepted into the Lakers’ summer league, there were no roster spots,” Arenas said. “He ended up making it into the preseason team where he played so well, but because there were no spots left they had to cut someone.”

However, Brown still seemed convinced that Bronny took the spot that other players were more deserving of.

“That’s the problem. There should have been a place. That shouldn’t have been guaranteed for Bronny,” Brown said. “Bronny should have been cut by now and he (Olivari) shouldn’t have to be gracious or grateful for shit. It’s a competition.”

There is no doubt that this debate will continue as long as Olivari continues to excel and Bronny doesn’t.
