Brown. Not because he's better than Bradley, because he's obviously not. However, I do think he's played better as a starter than he has off the bench. I wouldn't reduce Bradley's minutes, but instead redistribute when he's playing those minutes. I also think the quality of Brown's minutes would be enhanced by playing alongside the starters.

Sorry for Bradely but he is the odd man out now and put him to the bench will perhaps decrease his paycheck
But most importantly the team performs better with Brown and Bradely from the bench can possibly make this team even better

Bradley

I think it was Hubie Brown who praised CBS for starting Brown, saying something like when u have a guy who's still learning, it's easier when he gets to play with the starters. It allows him to get into the groove of the game and the 4 other guys can take the pressure off him. So in a way, by starting Brown, CBS gets to "hide" his weaknesses (defensive mistakes, forcing the issue, etc.) while allowing him to do things he can do (finish in transition, wait for a kick out and either shoot or drive).

This is very true......   I think Bradley could increase his scoring in the second unit.   To bad he still would not win 6th man this year since h started to many games (Can someone fact check that)   But next year that would b interesting.

I just hope hes not the odd man out as in a trade coming.   Him, Young, Zeller, Mickey and Green along with that 1st rounder could be attractive offer for a Cuz, Butler type player.     

I hope we give up just Zeller (late 1st)  over Amir for another VET big man.   

We need Bradley's much improved and reliable scoring and defense.  Jaylen can will go back to the bench.

This.  Bradley has earned the spot.  Good thing we have a legit coach, not a CB poster making these decisions.

We inserted Brown into the starting lineup after a 4 game slump. 

7 Games in a row Brown has started and 7 wins later we now have to wonder if our Rookie is going to permanently replace our 2nd best player in the starting line up.  What a good problem for any franchise to have.


I personally think that we start Brown until Bradley earns it back, which he probably will after a few games of playing really good off the bench.

Did McHale and Havlicek not earn the spot? Throughout history there have been other extremely successful players (guys like Ricky Pierce, Ginobili, Schrempf, etc.) that came off the bench. Not because they weren't better than the starters, but did it for the betterment of the team.
