Jaden Bradley is an alert right-handed point guard who brings steadiness, defensive awareness in pick-and-roll coverage, and enough offensive skill to earn a NBA look. Bradley averaged 13.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 1.4 steals per game while shooting 39.4% from three-point range and 80.9% from the free throw line. He was named First Team All-Big 12 and was also the Big 12 Tournament MVP. At 6'3" with a 6'6.25" wingspan and a 205-pound frame, Bradley fits comfortably in the NBA point guard size pool. He does a good job putting pressure on defenses and getting to the free throw line, though he is nothing special as a finisher around the basket. He had only one dunk this season, which adds some context to his functional athleticism despite posting a 36" max vertical at the 2026 NBA Draft Combine. Bradley also uses his left hand well.
Bradley played his freshman season at Alabama before spending three seasons at Arizona. His DDiff was minus-2.6 this season, which is a concern, but he does a good job defending pick-and-roll actions and appears to understand his responsibilities. He also seemed to play his best basketball against the best teams, which is always worth noting. We expect Bradley to be selected in the mid-to-late second round. With his size, poise, shooting, ability to pressure defenses, and pick-and-roll defensive awareness, we think he can become a mid-tier reserve point guard in the NBA.
