Poll: Is ABradley unwilling or unable to pass?

[manl_lui]

he has by far the WORST passing skills I have ever seen in my life. I hate it when he chuck passes to other teammates...

I agree .......I been watching C's a very long time .  I can't remember a guard with worse passing game .     

Thank heavens he can shoot and play defense.

I feel like I have seen Bradley throw quite a few pick-6 passes around the 3pt line, something that usually reflects a lack of awareness.

It is interesting that he also gets too few steals for someone with his hands and reaction speed. Is he also unable to anticipate what opposing offenses will do? Or is it just that we put him on top offensive players that he can't cheat off of to play passing lanes?

I voted unable.
His passing and ball handling skills make me wish for ray allen and eddie house to be back (think about that)
He should head to guard camp in every off season.  Cmon these guys make millions, kick some money back to the camps to improve their own game, lengthen career.  I said this with rondo going to mark price free throw camp.
Bradley is a streaky shooter who defense used USED to be really good.  His game hasn't improved as much as I (or ainge probably) expected.  He is looking more and more like a three and d small sg off the bench for a good team.
(for us that means starting material)

I voted with the 88.9% majority, which underscores how amazing it is that Danny and Doc tried so hard to make a PG out of him.

Frankly, I think AB is probably the worst passing shooting guard in the league.  Has absolutely no court vision, and almost every pass he makes is either a bad pass or the wrong pass or gets stolen.

...so in a way, I probably prefer him to shoot than look to pass ball.

Anyways, I think he falls under the "unwilling" category.   Just saying......

What do you think?

while measuring assists and turnovers are not the same as deciding whether someone is the "worst shooting guard in the league," they are indicators of passing ability.

among shooting guards, bradley ranks 34th in assists in the nba out of 59 players. so he is not near the top, but not at the bottom either.

among shooting guards, bradley ranks 35th in turnovers. again, not good, not bad. middle of the packish.

But there are only 30 starting shooting guards in the league.  Having the 34th best numbers is not good.  He'll naturally have more total assists than some bench guys with lower minutes.  I'd be more interested in per 100 numbers.

If you watch the Spurs, they throw hard passes.

The Celtics often throw soft, lazy passes.
