Can he defend taller guards like a Vince or Kobe? He seems undersized to me. ???

I saw George Hill do a very good job on Kobe in a game this year and I'm pretty sure they have similar measurements...

Plus Tony Allen is only 6'4 and he did a good job on Kobe and Vince.
Grab a few boards, keep the TO's under 14, close out on shooters and we'll win.

Love this pick. It also pretty much confirms that Danny believes Semih Erden is going be in Celtic green next season.

And goodbye to Tony Allen or Nate Robinson  ;)

he looks extremely athletic and would be a really good 6th man off the bench. hell, if he developed he might be able to make rondo expendable. there i said it. if he becomes like a darren collison i would try to trade rondo with a big 3 and bring back superstar talent.

going into last year's college basketball season, ESPN had Bradley rated as the number 1 player in his high school class, not John Wall.

I really don't understand why everyone's being so hard on him. The guy was clearly a good 19th pick. I expect great things from him.

We need his scoring and his ability to get to the basket.

  • Rondo = Good
So looks like best case scenario we just drafted another Shannon Brown?

Great.

Here is a video of him from his UT days.

http://sports.yahoo.com/video/player/nba/NBA_Draft_Prospects/20447262

I am a UT alum and live in austin.  This kid has big upside and was hancuffed a bit in Rick Barnes offense.  Definitely a great on the ball defender.

Don't forget, he was the number one ranked highschool player in the year that John Wall came out as well.  The potential is there.

really though, I think he'll be better than Shannon brown. That's a pretty low bar.

Well, I didn't expect Marcus Banks 2.0

I really hope he can play some 2. If he can't play with Rondo this becomes a bad pick in my mind.

He's a better shooter than Banks ever was.
