Jaden Bradley is an example of a player who has consistently delivered throughout their college careers, but ended up being harshly criticized by NBA scouts. Bradley falls into that category, as his second-round projection nowhere near matches his immense talent. His offensive versatility is what raises question marks, and his ability to become a more efficient shooter was labeled a red flag. If drafted by the right team, Bradley could prove later that he was worthy of a first-round pick.
The consensus average draft position for Bradley is projected at 46th overall. Scouts relegate him to being a back-up point guard at best. The NBA Summer League provides the perfect platform for him to prove that he would be a good fit on an NBA roster. There were other notable former second-round picks who defied the odds against them, and have gone on to have decent careers.
