What is the word on his development? Is he projected as a PF or C?

I haven't seen much info on him and I live in the southeast. Harder to get info...

I imagine if we could go back in time we wouldn't have moved up for that Bradley pick.

After the emergence of Udoh...
 
Has this guy become an all star yet? Or is he another bust?

Bradley is a ground bound center with good agility and size. He has a decent 15ft jumper and decent hands. He struggles to finish around the hoop due to lack of explosion. He has some ability to catch on the roll and finish on the move. His best NBA attribute is his work on the boards on both ends of the court. He really works hard to get position for rebounds. He needs to work on his body to increase strength and explosion. If he works his guts out, he will become a good backup center. If he doesn't he'll be out of the league.
 
From preseason and SL twitter following I got the impression that this season is all about intense player development fro Bradley. That he will likely do constant back and forth between the Jazz and the Stars for playing time with the Stars and practice with both teams.

I think he has more upside than that.
 
I still think he is a decent prospect, but just puzzled by the pick and why we moved up to get him. He may have been BPA but he won't see the court this year. If Gobert and Udoh are healthy he won't see the court next year... there is also the chance that Jerebko gets some minutes.

There are quality true centers that are cheap and as an upside pick I don't get it... it was end of the first round so no big deal. He would have value in a trade if he got on the court and did well, but I don't see an easy path for that.

There weren't a ton of guys I loved there but thought we could take a flier on two guys (like Jonah Bolden and Josh Hart) and have a better chance at finding something.

DL would do the same. Udoh is only under contract for one more year. After that, he could very well be too expensive to re-sign, especially if Utah keeps both Hood and Exum and Favs or signs or trades for replacements for any of those. And I'm not counting JJ or Burks. There just isn't money to keep everyone and remain under the tax limit. Jazz MIGHT dip into the luxury tax a couple of seasons, but I guarantee they won't be repeat offenders, not unless that comes after a championship.

Thank you. I just haven't heard much and couldn't find much. Some of you guys who live in Utah and/or the region seem to hear more than I do. Its all college football here.
