After the explosion against the Knicks, has Bradley become our 3rd best shooting point guard ahead of Rajon?

Looks like the answer is Bradley, although even Rondo has good shooting nights sometimes.

Let's just say that both are pretty inconsistent / not very good and move on.

I'm not hating, but I'm not delusional either.  I love Rondo, but as of today Rondo is not a great shooter, and is most certainly a worse shooter than West and Arroyo.

Avery has a good shooting form. In time he fly right pass like many other have Westbrook, Rose, Holiday......

Right now?  Rondo.  Bradley has potential to be better, but right now he has happy feet (much like Rondo had his rookie year).  It didn't show up last night, because the Knicks didn't put any pressure on him, so he could shoot like its practice, but when he feels any pressure, he has terrible balance on his shot.

Rondo on the other hand has done a lot to fix that part of his shot.  His footwork has improved immensely, and now he just needs to get more consistent with the finish. 

I really just think Bradley has terrible fundamentals in general.  He looks like a guy who dominated in highschool purely on his athleticism, and has never learned how to actually play.  So, they are basically forced to break him down and start from scratch, which is both a long process, and it is very hit or miss.  The talent is there, but this kid has a long way to go.

I'm not sure that Rondo has a better jump shot than ANYONE on the team. Maybe BBD...

This isn't even close.  Bradley's jumper is so much better than Rondo's it's not funny.  The way he shot it last night was no fluke.  I watched many of his Maine games, and he's got a sweet stroke.  He oozes talent, too.  The problem is, he is fairly clueless about 5 on 5 games.

Watching him, you get the sense that he'd be so dominant in games like 21, but when he's on the court with 4 other guys, he just has very little court sense.  Anyway, his jumper is nice.  Rondo's is atrocious.

Bradley is light years ahead of Rondo with shooting.. He just needs to learn how to dribble.  Seems like he can't really control the ball at all.  Can't see him as PG at any point.  Needs to just be a smaller 2 guard.  He and Rondo could share some of the duties next year bringing the ball up while on the court at the same time.  Defensively the two of them could be devastating.   I think if used effectively Bradley could be a nice piece since he has what this team needs explosive athleticism.

I really like the Idea of bring Bradley, Green with Pierce and Rondo and KG to add some tempo to a game..   That would be a layup drill

Rondo thinks to much when he shoots. it feels like he shoots 60%+ when the shot clock is about to expire and he doesn't have time to think. its more a confidence thing then an ability thing IMO.

agreed, when its off the dribble quick its a nice looking shot, when he thinks the motion is not smooth, hence bad fts
tony allen had this problem as well

This is like asking the question:

"Who is the better dunker, Jordan or Larry Bird?"

Anybody who says Rondo here has to be kidding..... He may be the worst shooting PG in the entire league... not to mention hes in the 50% range from the FT line..
