From the moment he was drafted as the 18th overall pick in the 2010 NBA draft, Avery Bradley was immediately ready to contribute defensively for a NBA team. According to then Celtics head coach Doc Rivers, that's the reason why the Celtics brass selected him as addition to a then dominant defensive team.
He's an NBA defender right now. He can play point guard defense on anybody in the league and that's huge for us.
Originally miscasted as a point guard, Bradley wasn't a regular in the rotation until his sophomore season.
