quote:A lot of that has to do with adjustments other teams have made. Bradley's gotten less effective for the same reason a lot of hitters tear it up when they first get to the majors and then hit a wall. There's a book on him now that consists of cutting off the drive by giving him an extra step or two at the arc.
If we were to regain just a margin of the contributions we were getting from some of these guys from earlier in the season, I would never fear a loss ever again.
The good news is the sky isn't falling. 1) We have two upper classmen who are more than capable point guards; and 2) typically it takes time to grow into that position. Look at 247's PG rankings for 2022. Other than Anthony Black there's not a single dude on that list who stepped in and tore it up this year.

Yea I have zero concerns about Jaden long term. He will become a solid outside shooter - he has a good stroke and shoots pretty well at the FT line. We make those guys into competitive outside shooters.
He defends pretty well, plays hard, is a great finisher. I expect him to take a huge step next year and be a 3-4 year guy who is an all-conference player his last 2 years.

Totally agree, the freshman wall is more than just getting tired legs down the stretch. Teams know how to defend Bradley now, it's up to him to continue to improve in other areas of his game to counter those adjustments made by opponents.
I'm eagerly looking forward to the development of Bradley's shot and Griffen rounding into an all around player and not just a shooter that shows flashes of good passing.
