he's more of a slasher but he can knock down the college 3 at a decent clip (averaging 40% now but was shooting in the mid 40's in HS i believe)... haven't seen him extend his range much beyond the NBA range but a kid w/this kind of explosion & athletic ability can be a nice energizer off the bench IMO... Lil Nate wasn't known for his 3 pt. prowess coming out of WAS either (38% his junior season) but he developed a nice long distance J in the NBA.
here's a comparison w/John Wall, another uber athletic G that thrives in an uptempo open floor style play

I like Bradley's game, but I'm just OD'd on these combo guards man. Is it hard to find someone who can run a pick and roll, restrain himself from taking off-balance three-pointers with cats in his face, go a season without some sort of gun charge and is mentally stable. I'm not attacking Bradley personally, I'm just frustrated at the lack of competent playmakers nowadays.
Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.

We need shot blockers and/or defensive presence ( bulk/height). Sorry, no more undersized anything

i agree we need shotblockers but we also need players that can play... we have 2 second round picks we can use to maybe move up in the 2nd round & get a guy like Varnado to fill the shotblocking need, but we can also buy a late 1st round pick & take a kid w/upside like Bradley who can grow into a Monta Ellis type player & provide a scoring spark off the bench... or we can target someone like Jerome Dyson from UConn who i'd also be fine with.
