Shooting Guard: Avery Bradley

Avery Bradley was supposed to be the piece that could save this team this year. When he was traded for Marcus Morris it was tough for me personally. Morris has grown to become one of my favorite people in the league. And not even a full season later Bradley was sent out to Los Angeles in the Blake Griffin trade.

Bradley is a lockdown defender. Having him next to a player with the size of Dinwiddie is dangerous. Bradley has a decent stroke, but he’s best when he can sneak around and cut to the hoop. Dinwiddie’s playmaking ability will help this situation immensely.

I think Bradley is a better player than he showed as a Piston. Losing Reggie Jackson was tough for his overall play. Not to mention getting shut down for the season now seems like a big sign that he was never healthy with the Pistons. And another side note, not sure how the Pistons health staff botched so many players up with their timelines and coming back, but hey, I’m not a doctor so who knows what happened there.
