. I think Bradley is fine but is young and young bigs generally aren’t defenders
I'd tend to think the opposite is true, with defense being more evolved in young bigs, when compared to other skills. Young Hakeem, Ben Wallace, Dikembe, David Robinson, Rudy, Russell. They were defensively impressive out of the gates.
I'm sure there are some who shot up defensively and then became great after grooming, but I can't think of any.
Bradley has some skills but he is a below-the-rim 5. Rarely dunks and lacks explosiveness. So I'm lukewarm on him. Hope I am wrong.
