The Story in 60 Seconds

Chris Lambert argues that Toronto Raptors rookie guard Jaden Bradley would benefit from an assignment to the G League's Raptors 905 following a difficult start to his NBA career. After observing Bradley play limited minutes against the Memphis Grizzlies and Milwaukee Bucks, Lambert contends that the rookie appears unsure of himself and out of place at the NBA level.

Bradley, who was selected 50th overall in the draft out of Arizona, has played 17 minutes across the Raptors' last two games amid team injuries. Lambert notes that Bradley's struggles with ball control and pick-and-roll execution are likely tied to nerves, making G League development the ideal path once Toronto regains full health.
