Avery Bradley will be the next Russell Westbrook

[KevinConnor]

I sure hope AB never becomes like Westbrook!

Westbrook seems very selfish to me and almost always is looking for his own shot first. He also seems to be in **** measuring contest with KD the last couple of seasons and because of that his assists per game are down 3 this season!

I used to like him but since he seems to think he is a franchise player and the no1 option for Oklahoma not so much.I bet that the Thunder would do a Rondo for Westbrook swap in a minute these days!

i think bradley is going to be a really solid scorer in this league. he can pretty much take anyone off the dribble and has a smooth Jumper. look at him driving to the hoop last night..

as good as he has been offensively, hes only 21 so one can only imagine he is going to get better. the amazing part of it is that nothing is really forced. he is scoring within the system and what the defense is giving him

Well, I don't know if he is the next Russell Weatbrook or Jor Dumars, but the kid is looking more and more like he is going to be a star.  While last night is just one game and can't be assumed to be a trend that will always hold true, Bradley dropped 28 without Rondo setting him up, without the Big Three distracting opposing defenses, and against a good playoff team in the Hawks.  If anything, people might now start making the case that he's being under utilized by this team given their other options (I'm not going there yet). 

Overall, this has been a very nice surprise in a season that had ha many disappointments (Green, West trade crumbling, JO, Wilcox).  Bradley give them hope for one last shot at a title this year and, paired with Rondo, a shot at a very bright future.

I am not at all a fan of Westbrook's game.  Bradley has no chance to become like him though, with Rondo here.  That is a absolutely to our benefit.

I was thoroughly impressed with Bradley last night.  The Hawks did mostly lock him up in the 4th, but it required the majority of their defensive attention to do so.  That bodes well going forward, especially paired with a PG who will get you open looks constantly.

I hate to do it, but Ainge deserves major credit for getting Bradley.  Going the best player available route definitely paid off that draft.  Wish Ainge would do that more often, but hey.

I don't want to get carried away, but, the sky is the limit for this kid.  Him and Rondo together for years makes me salivate.  Oh, the possibilities.

The shots won't always drop, obviously, but it's pretty clear that Bradley is a star. He's a star. Imagine when this guy gets older and more experienced in the league, and grows in confidence and starts to realize that he's one of the best people on whatever team he's on. It's going to be unbelievable.

Bradley has a chance to become better than Rondo.

Watching him last night blew my mind. no jokes.

[Celtics18]

Ah, that made me happy.  I can't stop watching it.

The guy he reminds me of is Kevin Johnson, the great point guard of the Sun's from the 90's. Obviously he doesn't have the passing skills that KJ had, but he is a very similar athlete, which is rare, and if he improves his handle enough, he could do the same sorts of things as a scorer.
