Bradley should be in the D league, Sasha should be sitting home playing video games.

Yes let me tell you why. DEFENSE!
Avery easily did the best job on Toney Douglas. In my opinion we shoulda thrown him on Melo he couldnt do it worse than Quis and Sasha..
Come on folks stop focusing on the negative things. Yes he is awful on offense but he will improve
just wait and see..
Jack of all trades, master of none.

Defense: A-
Offense: F

You can see his potential on the defensive end, but my god he is awful on the offensive end.

Its amazing how quick he can move his feet to stay in front of his defender... Other than that, his offense is putred and he is way to tiny/small to be an NBA SG.

Bradley shouldn't be on the team. Another poor move by Delusional Danny. Delonte West could offer more than Dooling or Bradley.

Bradley for a first rounder would be great, but it would be a high 20's pick (25-30) and all those teams don't want a young player to develop (Miami, Chicago, OKC, Dallas, Lakers)

The last Bradley (Charles) the C's drafted had no offense either

And, a decent amount of them have found success in that range. Norris Cole looked good for Miami today, Shumpert (while a chucker) did a lot of good things. It's hard, but you can hit in that range.

You're talking about the 14th and 15th men on the roster. Moore should have indeed got his minutes and once again it seems Doc's trust issues are a problem.

A 1st round draft pick should not be the 14th or 15th man on the roster.... 1st round picks should be contributors

Yeah but he's fallen behind a lot because of injuries. If we trade him now we'd be getting garbage in return. He certainly has potential to contribute/get assets in return.

It's his 2nd year in the league and he's shown absolutely zero improvement on offense. So where's this potential you speak of?

Hope springs eternal for some people I suppose, but when there haven't even been "flashes" I think it would be silly to hold your breath. As has been pointed out in this thread, there are plenty of examples of other people being drafted in that range who contributed from Day 1.

There's no reason to believe that Bradley will suddenly get good, other than blind faith.
