Avery Bradley Is Getting Better!

[OhioGreen]

young players need playing time to improve..and I think the more avery plays the better he will get..he could end up being a real nice backup PG

the same reason I think Jajuan johnson needs more playing time and he could develop into a nice contributer

Absolutely correct!  Young guys all play in too high a gear starting out and the only way they learn to slow it down and have the game slow down for them is to get comfortable.  It takes minutes, in real games, for that to happen---and to be able to see the REAL player once the jitters have smoothed out and they settle down.
That's why you have to play these kids consistently every game!  Then you start reaping some benefits in the long run.

darn it, i was out celebrating Chinese New Year with my family, came back and we won by 30?!??!?!?!

I came back and all I saw was Johnson's dunk...but I saw the stat sheets and assumed Avery did well

someone fill me in

Still a poor man's Tony Allen; but plenty of room to grow.

Remember! Tony Allen was a poor man's Tony Allen!  For a long time!

Jameer Nelson will be having nightmares about Avery Bradley.  That kid can play some D.

insane stamina picking up full court every play. And then still be able to do his Point Guard duties on offense. Major Props to Avery

That defensive pressure was a major factor in the game. His energy brought a lot out of KG and Pierce.

Let's just hope some sort of offensive game emerges.

problem is the only time he has looked good is these 2 games...when he's started ... now if he plays like this off the bench this season can get intresting

He's always looked like that whenever I've seen him play and I've watched every game of his pro career.  The difference in these last two games is that he's gotten some consistent minutes to do it in.

Man I was once again proven wrong by this kid, and loving every second of it. Kid is a ballhawk. Just relentless on defense. I'd love to see more of Avery.

I love watching Avery play. Great defense, and is getting more and more comfortable with the starters.  Fun to watch!

He sure is getting better, and it seems to make the team better, too.

The best thing out of it all is that we now have an additional defender to throw at the Wades and Kobes out there....I don't expect AB to stop them completely, but just slow them down a bit.

And he can do that.
