Bradley said he spent last summer working on getting his team defense on par with his individual defense, and it paid off with him being recognized as the best defensive guard in the league. He said he is hoping his assist numbers this year reflect a similar dedication to being a better facilitator.
“I know it’s something that I needed to improve,” said Bradley, whose career-best coming into the season was 2.1 assists per game last year. “In order to take my game to the next level I needed to add that to my game. That’s something that I’m challenging myself every single game, every single practice, to get my teammates involved.
