Surprised nobody has said it (or maybe I am really just an idiot): he reminds me stylistically (more in terms of body movement, not talent) of older Tim Duncan, a bit.
More likely they have no interest in 4 rookies on the roster. And the draft and stash has not really ever worked out for the Jazz with the exception of AK and Maybe to a far lesser degree Neto.
Bradley's greatest strength throughout the season was his non-stop motor. He played limited minutes, but his per-40 minute production was exceptional, particularly on the offensive glass at 6.9 per 40, which is the best mark among all players in the 2017 NBA draft.

I imagine Spurs had a bead on him. Got no problem giving up 42 particularly since we scored Williams Goss at 55. Bet all three stick, but four would be pushing it. Wonder if he gets more minutes at center or power forward.
Where would you have projected him for next year's draft had he not declared?wishing big
No way he can play PF. He's a center only.
The why the comparisons to the best Power forward of all time (forgive me Karl), Tim Duncan?

The most exciting thing is he actually boxes out - something so simple yet Jazz players fail to do it much of the time.
We've had an argument on here before as to whether defense or offense defines a players position, and I think it varies even if one may be true a lot more often than the other. The reason I bring this up, is because I'm assuming what you mean is he won't be able to guard 4s, and that's probably true. However, you could play him next to Favors who can guard 4s, but then on the offensive end they switch, since Bradley looks to have better range.
Just wanted to throw that out there, since I have my own doubts that he could play next to Rudy.
Kenny the Jet Smith said on NBA TV "Tony would have been a top 10 pick next year had he stayed another year".
So we essentially traded #30 and #42 for next year's #10.
I mean that's pretty exciting.
plus offensively that would be a wreck.
No way he has better range than Favors. Maybe he can develop it, but if he ended up with the range of Favors, that's a win. I think he's a 5 only on both offense and defense. So no, he can't play with Gobert. He's our backup C, which I think we needed. I have a feeling we'll be playing a lot more 4 out-1 in.
Maybe, but I don't think that's a given. His shooting looks promising.
