I think the problem with both of them is that they're both specialists.  IT is really a sg in a 5'7"/5'9" frame, while Bradley is a shooting guard who can only defend point guards due to his height and has neither the ball handling (although it has improved) nor passing ability, especially, to play point guard, which prevents him from being able to be a third guard on a championship team, imo.

If AB is your starting sg, then your starting pg almost has to be at least 6'4" to be able to guard the opposing sg or someone else, as you can't play the Blazers every night ;) ;D. Really the best fit for him would be next to Westbrook, with Oladipo being the third guard, but you could also make the argument that he'd be perfect for the Lakers should they pick Lonzo Ball, which would kind of resemble how the Showtime Lakers, illegal defense, matchup zone, and all, managed to cover for Magic Johnson, with Byron Scott defending, say, Zeke, Worthy guarding Dumars, AC Green taking Dantley, lol ;D, and Magic "covering" Laimbeer when they played the Pistons.

I can recall AB locking down more than PG.  He has done credible jobs on SG before, too.
