Avery Bradley video footage

[ScoobyDoo]

I'm glad I can watch all summer pro league games on TV this year but disappointed I won't see Bradley play. Usually you can watch a player for a few games and know right away what their potential is.

If you watched Gomes in the summer league, for example you knew right away he knew "how to play" and that he'd find a spot.

With Rondo, you could see his athleticism and intensity...

Does anyone have any good footage of Bradley they can link here to get a glimpse of how he moves around on the court? How he spaces, comes off picks and plays Defense, etc.

And another question, does this guy have Stephen Curry type pull up shooting ability but just plays D as well. Is Curry a decent comparison based on tweener size?

curry is a much much better shooter, but bradley plays better defense and moves a little better off ball.(at least from the little i see)

size-wise i think theyre about the same though

Youtube my friend. Some good stuff there.

Naw not Stephen Curry. Think Russell Westbrook. I'm serious, the dude is a straight up athletic combo guard. His game is just like Westbrooks. At worst he is a more explosive version of George Hill for the Spurs, but he has Westbrook type potential and ability. It might not happen all in year 1 for him but I think we picked up the sleeper of the draft.

Ok now I'm worried. That clip contained about 300 dunks and 1 jumper.

Dunking is not a skill that translates to the NBA. Maybe to And 1 "basketball" but not the NBA. If you don't believe me go ask Harold Minor and Gerald Green.

[Kane3387]

You can't tell me this isn't similar to Westbrook's dunk on Lamar Odom in game three of their first round series. It is, lol, I was there. Now I know it is just a dunk but I am saying their style of play is very similar. Lets hope their mental make up is too as well as how fast they develop.

True but it gives you an idea of how explosive and physically gifted he is. Normally those guys do alright. There are some exceptions but Green honestly had no basketball IQ at all. He didn't understand how to play with in the confines of a structured system.

i have 0 use for a highlight video that has all dunks.   Actually.. most highlight videos are useless in evaluating a player.  

Our D league affiliate should be happy to have Bradley, though.

Thanks guys, I did check youtube but only saw dunks, which while fun don't give a very good picture. Looking more for general movement without the ball, shot coming off picks, ball handling etc.

I'll check out some other stuff you attached here that I havent' seen yet, thanks.

Yeah, Curry is a Ray Allen level jump shooter in my book. Unbelievable stroke. But I keep hearing what a shooter this kid is too....

I like the Westbrook comparison and especially the D. He's only a freshman, in 1-2 years we might look back at this a a real steal. I'm sure he's know where near his full potential at this point.

I think there are clips of TX games from last season on YouTube. They wouldn't be focused on Bradley, per se, but might give a better over all perspective of his game.

I think that the Westbrook comparasion is a good one but I think Bradley is more of a SG while Westbrook is clearly a PG. I cannot make a definite opinion on who is the better defender but on offense it looks like Bradley is the better shooter while Westbrook is the better finisher and distributor.

Reminds me of Steve Francis...

This one is good.
