Would you trade Bradley for a top 15 pick in the 2012 draft?

I hope and know that Bradley will work like crazy on his handle and one-on-one moves. His handle going one-on-one is probably better than what he does in games. I don't see Bradley cross anybody over very much, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's not bad at all.

Next year we'll see a much more varied arsenal, with more permission from Doc to isolate and go to town.

I want to see this kid go Iverson!

I'm loving Joe Dumars - I mean - Avery Bradley's game too much to do this.

It would have to be a knock-down talent for me to do this. I think Avery will have a breakout period over the next few years.

It would have to be an Anthony Davis-like talent.

Lets not go that far, however I would hold onto Bradley. He was a one and done player in college. You'd have to imagine if he stayed he would have been a lottery pick this year. So that being said the 15th pick might not be equal value.

I don't think he'd be a lottery pick this year. The only players drafted high that are defensive specialists have great size...Bradley doesn't. The only players drafted highly with Bradley's size, are those with dominant shooting, ball handling, and play making. Bradley has none of that. I doubt there's ever been a 6-1" defensive player that couldn't play PG in the lottery.

This pretty  much sums it up.  The only thing that would hold me back is whether or not I thought we could be a playoff team next year, then I might hesitate and keep the proven NBA player.  If we have a shot next year, I probably stand pat and enjoy what the picks we have.

Defensive specialist usually implies zero to little offense.  Bradley doesn't fit that description.

yeh Bradley is finally feeling more and more comfortable with his offense, and his dribbling looks better now too

I remember Doc talking about Bradley yesterday
"They think you only play defense and have no offense, cut to the basket, they will not expect it"

worked so well so far, I don't want to see Bradley traded now, I want to see him as a building block for the future

The funny part is that he's always been a good offensive player, he was just didn't have the confidence to look for his own shot until now.

Bradley measured 6'2" without shoes as a teenager and I don't think hyperbole helps your argument.

We're judging Bradley on his 2nd year in Boston...not his 3rd year in college. That's the issue with the statement. Hell Bradley wasn't that far off from one when the C's picked him up. It's not a stretch to think the guy could have been the 12th pick this year.
