...are KG and dare I say it, Avery Bradley?

Bass has been pretty consistent too, but he's missed the last 2 weeks or so.

KG has been on fire since missing a couple games due to personal reasons.

Bradley, he's a kid who doesn't put up stats, but he has an impact on the game (sometimes bad, but mostly good impact recently).

The more confidence Avery gets, the more dangerous he's going to be come.

I think one big problem with Rondo is that he is over confident...almost arrogant. Like he could be doing something much more worth while (to him) than talk with the media or what have you. It maybe true too, but the kid is a supposed star and he has to be professional. His angst won't wear too long in Boston, and before you know it the media will be writing negative stories about Rondo further increasing Rondo's negative demeanor.

Back to Bradley, this kid is gaining confidence each game and he is knocking down those outside shots now. And it also seems he's not afraid to get to the rim. (Ask Kevin Durant).

Look at both KG and Bradley's February splits:

KG is averaging 17/9 on 55% shooting. He's also decreased his turnovers by nearly half per game and shooting nearly 90% at the FT line while getting to the line the most he has all season.

Bradley's stats aren't going to light the world on fire, but he's shooting nearly 56% from the field and we all know that these shots include some mid range jumpers. They aren't all just layups etc.

Bradley's playing almost 4-5 minutes less this month of Feb. but he has increased his scoring by about half point per game.

I really like what we are getting from both these guys.

Given Bradley's improved play, he should really get some minutes alongside Rondo just to see what they're like on the court together.  Yeah, yeah, I know.  But is Dooling really any better an option as a 2 guard?

Probably the only 2 players that never take a night off defensively either.

I actually trust AB's shot over Dooling's at this point. AB should get all of Dooling's minutes as far as I'm concerned.

I'd say that unfortunately Daniels and Dooling have been the two most consistent players this year--but that doesn't mean I want them to get more minutes!

Bradley plays hard D.  But offensively he is inconsistent.   I would say Bass is the most consistent and every one else is a toss up.  Bradley if it was D only.  KG too gives good D effort.

looking at AB's game log there have been no disasters. Pretty much every game he got decent minutes he did something positive even if he did something else negative. He's 20. I don't know what else to ask of him, except to try to continue to work hard and push his envelope a bit.

after all this potential big three blow up is over i really hope we hold onto AB. He's confident now and is showing great improvements. AND HE'S ONLY 20 the ability to mold this player into what we need or a starter is there. i remember his first year he could barely dribble the ball due to nerves. now he is getting to the basket, running the offense, and knocking down jumpers. keep AB !!!!!

I think its you because our most consistent players have been Jermaine O'Neal and Marquis Daniels.

They have either been consistently hurt or consistently awful for two years now.

Idk how you can say anyone on this team is more consistent than Ray.  His stroke has RARELY been off this season.

Consistency isnt always a good though - sometimes it means you are consistently lacking in areas.  Which is the case with Ray, KG, and Bradley.  They are consistently performing well in some areas and consistently playing poorly in others

I've never been a big fan of his but last year I thought he was playing the best I had seen him until he unfortunately got hurt.

He has been horrendous this year. He's been so bad this year I'd say he's lucky to still be in the NBA at this point. And thats too bad because I was hoping he would return to what we seen pre-injury.

What I would say about KG and Bradley with the term consistent is I would say they have both been getting consistently better as the season has progressed and both are reaching points where they are at times looking like the best players on the team. One the grizzled veteran back in form and the other the youthful speedster just discovering how good he can be.

I'm huge fans of both this year.
