Playing Avery Bradley Big Minutes is Costing the Clippers Badly

Avery Bradley has been a punching bag of Clippers’ fans all year. The shooting guard began the season firmly cemented in the starting lineup, and has remained there with no signs of Doc Rivers wavering on him, even as his numbers fail to improve. In fact, when asked about Bradley’s playing time a couple games ago, Doc said that he’s “un-statable”, which I take to mean that stats can’t encompass what he brings – or that no stat would have any effect on Doc’s thinking with Bradley. As much as I like and appreciate Doc, either of those opinions would be ridiculous, especially in 2019, with the wealth and depth of information we have on statistics and how valuable they can be in evaluating players.
