NBA SUMMER LEAGUE 2018

This is unacceptable defense by Bradley. If you're a 7 foot center in the lane you need to be able to stop this to earn your keep.



Grayson got beat on a screen, Bradley saw it and came down to challenge. He was just beat by a step. Really not sure what the **** you were seeing there.
 
Nah, that was 100% on Bradley. Dude was by himself in the paint and couldn't move 3 feet fast enough for helpside d.

I doubt he's that slow normally, but definitely wasn't mentally sharp on that play.
 
That was a slow rotation and a half *** block attempt with no vertical.
Hard to rotate on time when a guy gets completely blown by like that. Rudy would be chewing Grayson out. Bradley is there earlier and its an easy kick out for 3. Good defense starts at the point of attack.
 
Haven’t had a chance to watch a summer league game yet. I saw that Allen is shooting 26% through summer league on a high volume so far. What’s the general thought on that?
 
Watched the Warriors/Clippers game last night... Jerome Robinson can't play D confirmed. Ole ole ole
 
On that play Bradley is in position to help and guard the kick out to Swanigan at 3.

Bradley isn't Gobert. He can't completely erase garbage defense from the perimeter. He rotated well all things considered, he just can't jump high and when your guard allows an elite athlete a free lane with 0 resistance, that's what happens.

Its just ridiculous to act like him getting dunked on means he can't be a NBA center when guys get dunked on nearly every game. It happens.
 
I know it's not the same draft, but picked at around the same spot, I'd rather have Mo Wagner than Tony Bradley at this stage.

At least Wagner can shoot the 3's.
 
We know what Bradley is defensively. He's a positional size defender. His defensive ceiling is Marc Gasol, which in the more modern context isn't as good as it use to be. He has three games of good defensive performances. Today was rough because of the fouling. It wasn't because of that Baldwin play.
 
If Bradley was faster he would have taken away the baseline. I'm not going to freak out over one play: the guy is 20, still learning, and his specialty is getting offensive boards and getting easy buckets. He's going to be a heck of a lot better in five years.
