2010 NBA Draft Scouting Report: Avery Bradley


Position: Guard

Size: 6-2, 180

School: Texas, Freshman


Strengths:

Tremendous athlete

Great lockdown defender on the perimeter

Very quick on both ends of the floor

Effective off the bounce

Excels in transition whether he is finishing or finding an open teammate

Good three-point shooter

Mid-range game

Passing ability



Weaknesses:

Bit of a tweener who will need to learn to effectively run the point to reach his full potential

Can be taken advantage of on the block by bigger guards

A surprisingly poor free throw shooter

Summary: Bradley is an extremely gifted player on both ends of the floor. Unfortunately for his NBA future, he does not have a true position which affects his draft placement. If he turned pro after this season, Bradley would still be a borderline lottery pick. Ideally, he would return to Austin and learn to play the point, but the 'Horns already have a few young point guards on their roster so it will be interesting to see whether or not he declares for the 2010 NBA Draft.

Player Comparison: Randy Foye. Foye is a talented offensive player who primarily played the off-guard position in college. Yet, due to his size, Foye was asked to run the point and has to smoothly transition to that role. Bradley is likely to suffer a similar fate as he is undersized to be a true two at the next level, but is not a true point guard either. He is absolutely the definition of a tweener.
