I Like it when he makes a back door cut from the corner, gets on the end of a Rondo pass and finishes with a flurry. Also one Hunter Felt, of the UK Guardian's Sportblog is a big fan of Bradley.

I'm not sure if I respect the basketball opinion anyone who thinks that Bradley is inherently too short to be a starting SG.

He is too short to be a good shooting guard.

Your statement is more wrong than "Mike Brown is a good NBA head coach".

If his main strength is defense, then his size is a liability at the SG position.


Unless of course he was teamed up with a larger PG who could defend SG allowing Bradley to defend the PG, which would play heavily into his strengths as a defender.

Obviously. If AB has Iverson's handles and passing acumen I don't know how many people here would be so excited about swapping him out.

On the other hand, I do think that the height thing ranges from a little overblown to a lot overblown, depending on how he does the night before.
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

Wow. Did this thread really go as far as comparing Avery Bradley to Allen freakin' Iverson?

Now I really have seen it all.

Undersized shooting guard compared to undersized shooting guard. I don't think anyone's really comparing The Answer to The Avery, just using AI as an example (albeit an extreme one) that size isn't the dealbreaker it's often asserted to be.

Or, it was simply an example to refute the claim that Bradley is objectively too short to be a shooting guard. No one was comparing them as players.

Sometimes a moment to comprehend is better than outrage and agenda pushing.
