Ed Davis is a better basketball player than Tony Bradley. We knew that coming in to the season and I don’t think there’s any questioning that now. Ed’s had a lot of success as a rotational NBA player and Utah wanted him to do it here.
But now Tony Bradley is getting those minutes and Davis is getting DNP’d. Why? How are Bradley’s advanced numbers so much better?
Fit matters.
Bradley was always going to take a few years of developing when Dennis Lindsey selected him back in 2017. And then when it was indeed taking a few years, people started calling him a bust or waste of a pick.
