NBA SUMMER LEAGUE 2018

Bradley’s ceiling might be Jarron Collins. Late first round picks are always a gamble, I just don’t see him fitting in well to today’s game.

I have been looking for a comp and Collins is not bad. I think bradley is longer but both were vertically challenged and played center below the rim. And by the way, I watched many of the Stars games last year so this is not based on just summer league observations. You just want to shout -- "dunk the freaking ball" and he lays it up, toes 4 inches off the court. Explosiveness is not there.
 
Ive watched about 8 or 9 plays total of Bradley in his career and I feel confident enough to say that dude sucks.

I'll happily eat my words if Im wrong, but he looks like such a waste of time to develop, let alone even watch play. Im not sure what the Jazz saw in him.

If I were a GM my rule of thumb when drafting would be start with athleticism. They better have some because whats the point if they dont? There is a strong possibility that they will suck if they arent athletic. Ya, some, very few, players make it with limited athleticism. But no one is ever elite without a good amount of it. And if Im drafting Im hoping for elite every time.
 
I full summer of Gobert riding his *** will fix a lot of that.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Good leaders all around him. Ricky, Jae, and Donovan will help here. And playing next to freaking Royce with that kind of effort would be just enough to embarrass him into improving.

A few years ago, I would not have confidence that the Jazz had leaders to drive this change. A lot has changed for the better.
