There are plenty of NBA players with a lack of explosion, and some that are pretty good. Zach Randolph, Duncan for the last half of his career, Diaw, Dirk, Khris Middelton and others.

His potential isnt super high but Jazz felt like he had solid ability to be a good shooter along with good height. A guy that can shoot, rebound and play decent defense because of his size is a solid player.

I have no idea if he will ever be a starter but I think he was drafted for his potential. Some people thought he could become Aldridge.

Diaw? Dirk? Andyoure comparing them to Bradley? Or just their lack of explosion? I’m just not seeing how this improves the argument when they’re completely different positions and skill sets.

Duncan, Diaw, and Dirk when younger were far more explosive than what you seem to be referring to right now. Plus, their skill sets were lightyears ahead of Bradley.

I think you’re grasping at straws in an attempt to somehow bolster Bradley. He’s a center without a jump shot or ballhandling skills who doesn’t have the athleticism to play in the nba.
 
Bradley can’t shoot. He doesn’t have range outside the paint.
 
Goodbye to the Swedish Swish; one of the all-time greats........................................nicknames, that is.

Udoh has been in Salt Lake all summer. It's clear he's all-in. Still may be cut, but probably not. Bradley will spend almost the entire year with the Stars. With Thabo coming back and Crowder on the team for the entire year, Jazz didn't need a $4M cheerleader.

Niang will take his place. And as someone else said, it gives Utah a little more room under the tax for a deadline trade.

Just the lack of explosion. That isnt a reason he cant become a good player.

I know very little about Bradley and have watched very little of him. I dont really care about him that much but just because he has a lack of explosion does not mean he cant be a good NBA player. Plenty of guys do it, especially when we are talking about bigs. A 7 foot guy with a 7'6" reach doesnt need to have huge explosion to be a good NBA player, but it would be nice to have both. But if he had both he probably would have been a lottery pick.

He can handle the ball.

The coaching staff feels like he has good shooting touch and can develop a good shot with his soft touch. Again, I dont watch him enough to know but that is what the team has been saying since we drafted him. But you are right he doesnt have one know it seems like.
 
I like Jerebko and liked what he brought from the end of the bench. But shouldnt we wait until we see what we do with his spot before being bothered? Not that I really mind the Jazz looking at other players for the end of the bench roles. Even if it is just rotating through 10 day contracts for awhile.
 
How Swede it was having the Swish on the team! Good luck bringing some Viking Love to the Warriors. Go fight Demarcus, push the locker room self destruct button, injure your teammates in practice, and then come back. ;)

Hopefully this nets us a couple of good pieces.
