On the season, the Los Angeles Lakers have been 8.9 points per 100 possessions better when Avery Bradley sits than they are when he plays, the highest swing of any player other than the guy he replaced in the starting lineup, Kent Bazemore, who appears to be completely in head coach Frank Vogel’s doghouse at this point.
Over the last five games, however, that has completely flipped amidst the return of LeBron James and some stronger play from Bradley himself. Bradley has averaged 10 points per game and shot a scorching 11-17 from 3-point range over that stretch, and per NBA.
