Bradley is a good shooter

Avery is clearly a good perimeter shooter.  He's got a nice stroke from deep, and the numbers back up that observation.

On the other hand, he is not a very efficient scorer.  This is due to him taking a ton of pull up long twos (the most inefficient shot in basketball), and being a sub-par finisher around the rim. 

I think some people are confusing being an efficient scorer with being a good shooter.  Avery is a good shooter, and I believe that if he can learn to take better shots, and be put in better positions, he will become a more efficient scorer.

AB's biggest problem is his dribble

agree. his pull up jumper I tend to think he is good at, it's just when he takes it. when the shot-clock is running down i'm fine with. it's when there's 20 sec's left on the clock and there is no one there to rebound a miss. it's so damaging to our defense.

for whatever reason, bradley likes to take 20-21 foot jump shots. if he would simply take one step back over the 3 point line, he efficiency might increase dramatically. i am hoping that this season he extends his range another 3 feet. if so, he becomes an effective shooter.
