Seems to me like the Red Claws are the right level of play for Bradley right now. A good combination of games and practice under the watchful eye of an Ainge coordinating with his dad. The big question is next year. Will he learn enough to dominate in summer league, then earn a legitimate spot in training camp? Will league contract issues interfere with a key year for him?
A fallback position I suppose is that what they find in training camp and the preseason leads them to believe he can be in the rotation by the second half next year--or at least a backup worthy of being in the rotation. He's got to significantly improve his pg play or jumpshot to find himself a niche. Also, play D big enough, which I think he can, to share the court with Rondo. The so-so play of Nate and the continuing vitality of Ray probably will combine to afford him some patience and an opportunity. Even if DWest comes back strong, they know he's always a question mark.
