UNC Basketball: Jazz pick up 3rd year option for Tony Bradley

A couple weeks before the NBA season tipped off, the Utah Jazz picked up the third year team option on former Tar Heel Tony Bradley. Bradley left North Carolina after his national championship freshman year despite having a raw skill set and having played limited minutes leaving Chapel Hill. Bradley felt like if he ended up with the right team and the right coaching staff, he could develop better in the NBA than he could in college. He took a big risk, as we’ve seen talented players in the past get drafted into bad team situations and it can really derail a career.
