SALT LAKE CITY — Both by circumstance and also his seemingly conscious choice, Utah Jazz rookie center Tony Bradley has been a bit of an afterthought since entering the NBA in late June.
First there was draft night, as fans and pundits were still reacting to the Jazz’s acquisition of the 13th overall pick, Donovan Mitchell, when the team traded the 30th and 42nd selections to the Los Angeles Lakers for Bradley, the 28th pick who played just one season at North Carolina before declaring for the draft.
The scouting report on the 6-foot-10, 248-pounder pointed to his potential, but the consensus was that it might take him a considerable amount of time to develop.
