I know Bradley still looks pretty lost on offense,but the kid is already a lock down defender against PG's and Smaller SG's . He likely won't get many mins, but at least he can be used at end of the quarter defense and stuff like that .

Moore on the other hand looks like a very smart and skilled offensive player. I really think the kid is a leader and comes up with big shots when needed . He kind of reminds me of OJ Mayo or George Hill .  If he can reach that level he will be a hell of a steal in the 2nd round. Seems like he needs the ball in his hands to score though, so not sure how that will work out on this team ?

bradley reminds me of a tony allen type player...good defensively but inept on offense.

Moore is like a younger eddie house...lacking in athleticism so he isnt as good defensively..but the kid can shoot

Bradley looked like garbage to me today.  Yes, he plays solid defense, but that doesnt come close to making up for his actions on offense.  He looks completely incapable of both running the team, and/or creating for himself.  Hes not worth a contract or roster spot

Agreed. I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't moved by the deadline for a vet big on a lottery team (i.e. Ben Wallace). I'd much rather give Moore the nod permanently.

Bradley plays solid D. Other than that, he is not close to being an NBA player.

I like the Bradley/Moore combo as well as the Dooling/Bradley combo.

Both Moore and especially Dooling make good decisions with the ball and off the ball. Very heady players. Bradley brings the energy with his quickness and athleticism and is better at the 2 on offense.

Dooling and Bradley can really pressure the ball well together. Bradley made Calderon very tentative today with his pressure. Bradley needs to learn fron ray how to move without the ball better.

I think Bradley sticks because of his D.

Looking forward to seeing Doc manage the guard minutes this season.

I love both of them.. but im not sure if playing both at the same time (too long) is the best. But i was REALLY impressed with how cold E'Twaun was when he sinked those late game shots against the Raptors today.. That's what we need behind Ray.. also, playing Avery is great whenever we need a sparkplug that defends!

so:
Rondo
Moore

and

Dooling
Bradley

Playing Rajon and E'Twaun together means Great defense from Rondo, still, Rondo doesn't need to worry about scoring so much. E'Twaun can score.

Opposite for the Avery/Keyon soloution: Avery is a lockdown defender, while Dooling can score and lead the team.

Doc's gonna tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear.

Yeah iknow, my username is Kendrick Perkins and my ranking is Jeff Green. Ironic huh?

For me, Bradley is not fit for the Celtics, I have no confidence in this player.

 We need a second-shooting or combo/guard.

Bradley didn't show much.  some defensive quickness with his feet and hands but at some point Danny needs to have players that can actually contribute on offense.  Bradley right now allows other teams to play 5-on-4 D. 

He'll be behind Moore on the depth chart if Moore plays the next game like he did today.  I would not be surprised to see Bradley in D league this season and quite possibly somewhere else next season (if not sooner).

I disagree that he hasn't gotten better. The kid can shoot, I'm not too worried about that. At least when he got the ball he didn't look that lost and was aggressive, not afraid to shoot and drive. He played great defense, drove to the hoop and drew a few fouls. Last year he shot 50% from the line -he made 'em all today.

He still has a ways to go but I think he definitely showed he belonged.

That's exactly who I would compare each of them too. And I hope they can develop those skills and more
The Nets will finish with the worst record and the Celtics will end up with the 4th pick.

You have come to this conclusion based on a single preseason game?

Good to know.  ::)

   Bradley will be top 5 among Celtics in fouls drawn, dunks and steals.  He's a very important part of our offense and defense.  Give some time for Doc to figure out how to put his skills to use and all you people who are claiming "he sucks" will become his biggest fans.
