    I think it's more than that: guys who tend to like the mid-range pull up like Bradley don't to be great 3 point shooters (see DeRozan for example) and vice versa (Lebron is better from 3 then midrange). Kawhii being the notable exception.

    If he can add the 3 point shot (particularly the catch and shoot) and be consistent it really is something that would really be nice to have and extend his career ala later day Jason Kidd

    I don’t disagree. Bradley’s release has always seemed to have the potential to come up short. I was speaking more to the fact that he started well and after his fracture he seemed to come up short more than ever. I’ll take his career avg of 36% without complaint and if he can do even better then awesome.

    Thats a good point. Elite scorers usually have both (midrange and 3). Look at Kyrie, Harden, Durant, Curry, Kawhi. If you can have both its great.

    Role players usually have one or the other.

    Would be a huge plus for us if he can hit the 3 ball in the playoffs

    All AB is missing would be 4 inches lol

    If he was 6-8 with long wingspan...but then he would probably be out of our price range.

    If AB was 6'8", played his usual D, and hit 50% from 3, he would be a max player and in the all star game.

    Bradley is playing well but I can't help but notice how many dumb fouls he commits. There are plays where you just wonder why he fouls when he has the advantage in positioning. I guess you can't have it all with these pesky defenders.

    Yeah, but I didn't know he went "that" way, not that there's anything wrong with that.
