I think the perception Skorro Jr would be useless and just a nuisance for the remains of Othawa pride is incorrect. Just very rcently they took a kill from Mhangeni pride, mostly because Mhangeni prefer to avoid other lions and supposedly were not sure if there are any males with Othawas. If they keep meeting each other Mhangenis will figured out it is just Sassy and cubs, co Skorro Jr (even occasional) presence would be great help, an intimidating factor. He would probably claim the warthog for himself, but he could help Othawa to steal a bigger kill next time. He would ofc be useful for his power taking down bigger prey, just him and Sassy is not much for a buffalo in normal circumstance but it is doable (his very own father took on whole herd alone and killed one for himself and Sizanani). But there are smaller prey, as long as the flight is not the key part of the hunt, rather the power to overcome the prey, he would be priceless if he bothered to help. Also just his presence would a great detterent from hyenas trying something towards the pride.

He could still be net negative at times through eating his lion share, but that's how it is with males. Reply
