Moore vs Bradley....compare rookie years

[bfrombleacher]

Both of them were invisible but had spurts of promise. E'Twaun was cold blooded and looks so at home on the floor while AB was a defensive beast.

I think/hope Jajuan's gonna be a monster too (he did contain Marc Gasol when we were up against the Grizz, dude is strong as hell).

The youth movement is going to be interesting.

Moore vs Bradley....compare rookie years

Bradley was three years younger, coming off of injury, and being played out of position.

Bradley was misused.  Moore wasn't.

The problem with these threads....

Is that they make no valid point.

You can literally make this Moore  vs Bradley comparison with ANY NBA player who did NOTHING in their first year......

There are far more duds that are out of the league soon than there are Bradleys.

The reason I started the post was the get opinions as to what you felt about them going into their second year....I know I certainly feel completely different about Bradley now than last year at this time

The differences are more important than the similarities.

AB was a former top-5 high school recruit who at one time was considered as good as the player who ended up going #1 in the draft, but who had underachieved in his one year of college ball, and slipped considerably in the draft.

Moore was a four-year college player who, with all people know about him, was a borderline second round pick.

Looking at that, if you had to guess which player was more likely to surprise everyone and become a rising star in his second season, who would you pick?
