Aren't you a Clipper fan? You do know Kawhi is all about the midrange right? |
He is. And Paul George is all about the 3 pointer. Bradley’s mid-range would be fine if that wasn’t the strength of Lebron and AD. One reason why I would like to see him continue coming off the bench, he would only be playing with one of them.
And Kawhi has been 38-39% from 3, though I would like to see him get to 5-6 attempts a game.

It's wonderful to watch him play. His midrange shots tend to be TIMELY (they go in  , in non-garbage high pressure time) and extremely appreciated.
On D, somehow it seems to me he plays "bigger" than Caldwell Pope, even though listed height is on 6'2", a full 3 inches less than Pope. Maybe it's because of similar wingspans?

Stop Trae today and we can rest AD & LBJ in the 4th.

| I know he won't go 7-8 (with 2 mins left in the 1st half) every game, if ever again. But getting offensive production from him would be sweet. |

Bradley's game tonight is A THING OF BEAUTY.
Beautiful midrange game + top notch D. This is the pre injury Bradley. Very glad to see him shine.

Still effective if efficient. |

| Good to see him find his shot again. Hopefully he finds his three point shot next. |

IMO this was his best game as a Laker up to this point. His defense was very good, as usual, but his shot finally returned!
18 points (9-11 FG); 5 rebs, 3 steals. |

HaBing vision is extremely important when assessing these players.
It took vision for Jerry West to adamantly object to trading Klay Thompson for Kevin Love, who at the time was putting up extremely high numbers. Likewise, it too vision for West to dump Blake Griffun for Tobias Harris.
Avery Bradley is in the perfect role for his talents. He should not be traded. He should always start, and he brings an elite skillset mixed with toughness.
The Lakers need him and his grit, especially in the playoffs.
Adding Bradley was one of Pelinka's better moves. I just wish they would've been able to get him before they inked Cook, because Cook wouldn't be on this team if they had already had Bradley in tow.

He just plays so tentative on offensive end that it is no surprise he get these freak injuries.
We desperately need a PG who can play pick and roll and put players in position to take open shots |

his 3 point shooting has been a big disappointment. One of the biggest reasons why our starting lineup has been very clunky for the most part... we are surrounding Lebron and AD with 2 non-shooters in Mcgee and Bradley.

Despite his inconsistency shooting the three, he knows he’s just getting his groove back from sitting out from the hairline fracture.
Gotta give him credit he’s battling his injury bug to keep this momentum going.
I saw on Lakeshow that he was trying to come back during the pistons game |

Yea. But he was limping so much that the staff shut him down.
Hopefully it was just a minor tweak.
But worrisome that he had to get an x-ray to check for structural damage.
Maybe to make sure he didnt affect his previous injury? |
