Summary
Jaden Bradley is a 6’3 pure point guard who excels at controlling the pace of the offense and always finding open teammates due to his exceptional vision, IQ, and overall feel for the game. Bradley has great length and size for a point guard. That, along with his quickness helps him be able to play full court defense and pressure quick guards. He also controls the pace of the game very well, never getting too fancy, reading the defense well, and always keeping the ball moving. Bradley is also good at securing rebounds and making quick and sharp decisions during the fastbreak that leads to quick buckets for his teammates. He can sometimes be too passive at times as well. He needs to find ways to improve as a scorer game, especially when he is left wide open on the perimeter next season in Alabama’s perimeter-based offense.

Notes
UC All-American - Atlanta, GA - 3/31/2019
Quick lead guard that is explosive off the dribble and in the open court.
USA Basketball - Colorado Springs, CO - 10/11-13/2019
Quick in the open court, plays with pace and can find open teammates on the kick out and drop off. Can finish in the lane with touch.
Chick-Fil-A Classic - Columbia, SC - 12/19-21/2019
Creates well off the dribble, finishes well with contact, and can shoot it off the dribble. He is a willing passer that looks to kick out for open shots when attacking the paint. He is a good on-ball defender, as he gets his hands on loose balls and gets out on fast breaks.
Drove right and scored a layup. Blocked layup attempt. Scored contested floater in traffic. Scored layup in transition. Hit fadeaway towards right from the left short corner. Hit another turnaround jumper from the left short corner. Scored tip-in off an off rebound. Got layup blocked in transition

Drove right and scored a layup. Blocked layup attempt. Scored contested floater in traffic. Scored layup in transition. Hit fadeaway towards the right from the left short corner. Hit another turnaround jumper from the left short corner. Scored tip-in off an off rebound. Got layup blocked in transition
Nike EYBL 2021 - N.Augusta - SC - 7/13-18/2021
Hits a 1 dribble pull up off the dribble after using a jab to create space. Makes a strong lefty layup drive with 2 dribbles and lays it soft off the glass for 2. Always looks to push the ball ahead. Scored the first 3 baskets for his team. A plus rebounder for a guard. Continuously leaked out and was able to get easy layups or make an easy assist. Finishes the reverse layup over the opposing center. Hits catch and shoot quick release 3 from the left wing. Shows his quick hands on defense as he rips it from the center and then on the following possession reads the passing lane and saves it for a steal. He gets another steal and draws a 2 shot foul. He has an elite ability to anticipate passes like Jimmy Butler has been doing for years. Grabs a 1 handed rebound on defense and is agile enough to stay in bounds. Underrated passing ability as he was making on target drive and kicks and not telegraphing his passes. A true point guard. An elite rebounder for a guard as he grabbed 8 boards for the game
