Jaden Bradley

They added Kyle Anderson, Andre Jackson Jr., Kawhi Leonard, and their draft picks, Alan Graves, another versatile forward from a long line of versatile forwards to come through Toronto.

And then I have to shout out Jaden Bradley from Arizona, who undid some of the damage to my psyche from Isaiah Thomas's game winner in the Pac-10 championship with his game winner in the Big 12 tournament last year.

In terms of their playoff rotation, they basically just swapped Brandon Ingram and Mamu for Kawhi.

And then we'll see how much of Mamu's minutes get split up among their depth of forwards.

So go check that out at PHNX underscore Wildcats.

Sorry, I was in Jaden Bradley giving, of course, PTSD to Iowa State fans everywhere.

But that wall is filled with nothing but legends.

Kevin, we were talking about that.

Tommy Lloyd is only adding to his resume year after year after year, especially when it comes to these combo guards.

Kevin, we're talking about our wall of fame, if you will.

I mean, Caleb Holt walks into the gym every day and he sees Caleb Love, Jaden Bradley, about to see Braden Burries on that wall pretty soon here, right? Like, I think that it's very, very clear why a player should choose this program and should choose Tommy Lloyd to be the coach that's going to help get him to the next level because I just think that it's been working for all of these players.

Going to Benedict Matherin as well.

They can go into the season for two weeks with 13 players, and then they'll have enough room with the pro-rated minimum after two weeks to sign that 14th player.

The other one thing they could do is convert Jaden Bradley, their second round pick.

He would count as 1.35 million, which would fit.

Just interesting.

He says unless Raptors expanded the deal.

Raptors now hard-capped, he says, likely to carry just 13 to start the season, or 14 with Jaden Bradley converted.

I'm gonna talk about Bradley a little later on in the show.

Um, he goes on to say Leonard's also in the last year of his contract, which we know eligible to sign a two-year, $126 million extension with Toronto.

But like, you're seven s- you're seven foot, not rebounding, a- and calling out other guys for being not skilled? Kinda weird.

Um, anyway, let's move on quickly.

I mentioned Jaden Bradley, um, in the, in the previous sta- segment.

I wanna wish him a happy birthday.

just he's not a guard he's a he's a small wing right he's cool but he's not good enough to like be getting that kind of designation and i think there's a world where you know paul george's ass tatum is not an every time down ball handling type guy and there's a world that they just need a guy who's tough and can handle the ball and can get them into sets knock down some open shots play great defense uh and i think that's uzon i think uzon can do that for 10 minutes in a playoff game And he's my big swing in this category.

And my last guy, I'm going to go with Jaden Bradley for the Raptors.

I know they have Jamal Shedd.

They do not...

because he is bigger than Shed.

Shed I trust with anyone below 6'3".

Jaden Bradley, I trust with anyone 6'3", 266.

I trust him on this very specific size and strength of player to such a degree that there are certain playoff matchups I could see him playing 20 minutes a night.
