Avery Bradley

I think Bradley couldn’t play his projected NBA position, because he had guys like J’Covan Brown & Jai Lucas running the 1. So there’s to show you Barnes wasn’t trying to hold him back. Bradley was used for his slashing abilities, because that was his best asset towards contributing to the team along with his defense.

I think he would be a perfect fit in either Indiana or Portland.

Bradley is not a Russell Westbrook clone. He is a potential lockdown defender and has bigger offensive potential IMO. I need to see him run a team. Westbrook did run UCLA very well when Collison was hurt but Bradley did not have the chance.

I really like this kid because his defense is so good, I really want to compare him to Russell Westbrook because of his defensive ability and freakish speed but Bradley isn’t good at controlling it well.

I think he’d be a good guy down the line to play next to D-Wade. He is a skilled defender and although he is a bit of a combo guard now, if he were to learn to play the point and distribute the ball he’d be a great fit in Miami. He wouldn’t have as much pressure to make plays because Wade brings the ball up a lot and creates shots off double teams and drives. He could also play the 2 guard in releif of Wade and a Chalmers /Bradley lineup at the guard would be one of the best perimeter definding combinations in the NBA.

He needs to play with a superstar in the backcourt who likes to have the ball in his hands to have the most success. Bradley would be a good fit for Portland and Miami. Maybe Indiana too. Maybe.

He’s not Russell Westbrook. Not explosive as that. And he’s not that kind of aggressive playmaker either. I think Bradley’s ceiling is George Hill (who he plays exactly like IMO). He’s a good shooter and defender without real playmaking ability, and he’s better at getting to the rim in transition than in half-court sets. He has to be apart of a certain team to be his best.

I think Bradley’s best location would be Portland but that probably would bring about the end of Jerryd Bayless in Portland.

He wouldn’t fall that far with teams like Indiana Memphis Toronto Miami & Boston on the board. Bayless has become a fan favorite too so I definately say no to Portland.

When did Jrue Holiday prove anything? I understand his minutes and numbers increased in the second half of the year, but 7-23 record after being 20-32 to that point should damper those numbers.

As for Bradley, he got fat on bad teams and was horrible against the good ones. I don’t think he is a horrible prospect, but he is going to need a few years at least. I don’t think the upside is so great to merit waiting,
