Jaden Bradley

am mainly looking for a family environment,” said Bradley. “I want to go somewhere I can be for a couple of years where I can grow on and off the court," Bradley told Snow in July. "Also the offense they run will be important. I am looking for an offense that fits me. Is it fast paced, is it slow paced, I will be looking for a good system fit. I think a fast-paced system where the coaches let the players play a little bit is best for me. Also, I want to go somewhere that puts their guards in a lot of ball screens where they are willing to push the tempo and get up and down the court."


He’s not coming here.

You got that right. Won’t look twice. All of Cal’s yelling should do the trick.

Said he's committing soon. UK got 4-5 crystal ball picks in the last couple days. Gotta think Skyy Clark moves to 2021. Looking kinda far ahead if D.J. Wagner is as good as he's supposed to be does he move up to 2022? UK would have a very good shot at him. Could have alot of good guard options in the next couple years.

We need Jalen Duren. He looks like a prototypical calipari big man plus he’s from the east coast. Those east coast kids are tough and know the game.

The only 6'6" pg we had was pretty awesome
SGA was one of the better pg in the country

Andrew Harrison????

You're overthinking it. JD is simply his initials and I bet that smoovve is simply referring to himself or his game.

I’m not overthinking anything. It took one second to spot this. Where do you think Ramel’s nickname came from? My guess is probably referring to “himself or his game” as smooth. I said there’s no connection but there is a coincidence. That’s a factual statement.

"Yeah I assumed that handle is derived from the actor/comedian."

That's overthinking it.

That's overthinking it.

That’s a response to other guy that pointed it out. Call him out for overthinking it.
Overthinking it in my opinion is you arguing with me about something so trivial that has nothing to do with anything other than my 30 sec response to a guy who asked if Jaden was related to Ramel.

 

[Glenn's Take]

Need to see the mix tape. That's how both me and Cal evaluate talent.

 

[CatStucknWA]

People who get tats are usually followers. I like leaders.

Stereotype much?

The best part of Bradley's game is that he's a true PG and can create offense for teammates. He is happy passing the ball and will play his way with the ball-he can get you easy hoops and is a blur with the ball but more importantly passing the ball ahead to open teammates. He can defend his position and he can score but prefers to pass/distribute. It's why IMG is clearly the best team in the country this year and what they lacked from last year's team. Love that this is a guy who can show up in any gym and makes those he plays with better due to his approach on the court. He's what is missing from this year's team for example and has speed/quickness to get where he wants on the floor and makes great decisions while playing fast/open court or in half court. He sees things a play ahead which is usually best trait for a PG.

Now here's the biggest thing--if you are a shooter, he's a perfect player. He'll get you the ball--spot up and you'll have open look. Want to surround him with good shooters because they'll be getting open looks all game. And if you run the floor hard--you'll get dunks and layups as he pushes it hard up the floor. He was/is the #1 PG target for UK in '22 and been that way for 2 years.

Ralph what is his opinion of Cal and UK? Would like to know what he thinks of our offense.

Every day!

I have no idea on that--only he would know that. Can say that most elite players think they can fix anything with their talent and specifically a great PG--not like Cal's not had success with talented PG's before. Talented PG's are like great QB's in FB--they can make everything look greater then it is.

I'd add that he's one of the few guards you see in HS who plays at an NBA pace--I mean he really pushes the ball--so if you can land someone like this-easier to sell other guys on how you play. Big fan of his game and love how he's a traditional thinking/playing guy but also can score if needed.

Bradley is very good and he should be a 30-minute guy from day 1, but his recent performances in the past few months against top talent have been a little concerning.

 

[Atrain7732]

Don't want to get excited about recruiting either but does sound like a good PG prospect. Next we need a good coach to go along with it.

you still pretending to be a UK fan?
