There has been a lot of talk that he would be this or that if he had stayed in.  What does everyone think?

Really kind of depends on the year he had and how well Texas benefited from that year. If he showed great defense, an improved shot and range and further athleticism while propelling Texas deeper than they went in the tourney and got them to the Final Four, maybe top 3. if he struggled and Texas did about what they did, late first early second or he stays in school.

given that the talent in this year's draft drops off fairly quickly, bradley would probably wow a number of teams during workouts.

there are always a few teams who are enamored with work out warriors. i would not be surprised if he was drafted in the 6 to 10 range.

plus, it would be nice if ainge was correct in his statement about how good bradley will be.

only time will tell.

I think there's a chance he would be considered the top shooting guard prospect in the draft.  Even considered as a combo guard, I would say he would likely be drafted a few spots ahead of wherever Jimmer Fredette lands.

hard to tell without knowing how he would have done with another year in school

I agree with Nick and Slam in that it would depend on how well he fared.

Hard to see him regressing, though, so if he went 19 in a supposedly better draft last year, I think 6-10 is reasonable.

He's still a tweener unless his pg skills improved substantially if he stayed at Texas. Then, maybe, top 5.

idk, i hope he doesnt get released or traded

i really like watching this kid, i mean yeh his offense was great (except the NY game), but i love his hustle and defense...

give him a full training camp and then lets judge

I am looking forward to a really good year from him but I think we need to give him at least one more year where he is evaluated as a rookie.

Last year he was injured, too young, missed camp, and played on a veteran team that couldn't afford him very long leash.  The leash will be the same this year but hopefully a year older and a full healthy preseaon and he will play as well as a top 5 or top 10 rookie that come out this year.

He'd be a lottery pick on potential alone (in this weak draft).

If his team did well in the tournament, he converted to point guard, and improved his court awareness and play making skills, he could have been a lottery pick.

If he failed to improve, he probably gets picked later than last year.
