It’s easy to forget now, but when Bradley broke through during the 2011-12 season — essentially muscling aside Ray Allen for the starting shooting guard job — it was because he combined his calling-card defense with an offensive game that leaned heavily on cuts and corner 3-pointers.
In recent seasons, much of Bradley’s offense has moved further away from the basket. He’s taken more long 2s — the sort that make analytics folks cringe — and more above-the-break 3-pointers. Last season, he attempted a career-low 16.8 percent of his field attempts at the rim; this after 41 percent of his attempts came there during his breakout season.
