Report: Bradley to Stay in Draft

19

According to Fox Sports senior basketball writer Jeff Goodman, Avery Bradley will keep his name in the NBA Draft instead of returning to school. No major surprise on this, especially given the rumors that Joseph and Bradley weren't exactly planning on reuniting. If the report is true, Bradley's departure may slightly hurt the Texas defense, but Joseph is an excellent perimeter defender and better shooter and ballhandler than Bradley. Since Joseph can run the point, his addition may end up being a net upgrade over Bradley and that is not a knock on the now-former Longhorn.
