There’s some Bradshaw footage from the game in here, among the other Kentucky prospects. The tape is promising. Off the bat, I see his enthusiasm for the game and can totally see him on this bench. Love seeing him clap those hands. He does look like he has stiff hips, he’s no Travis Kelce, but he does move pretty well. I’ve seen some people say he can be Mitchell Robinson defensively, which is a really good defensive center. I want to see a decent sample size of him defending in space. Bradshaw is actually someone I can see neutralizing Wemby if he can move on the perimeter. Bradshaw is apparently 225lbs right now, 240lbs is where I think I’d want him to try to get to. He looks skinny, but he plays strong. At 240lbs, he should easily be able to keep any agility be has.
I know he can get out on the perimeter on defense. It's rotating that gives him issues. Sarr is light years ahead in that department and also better in drop coverage. I need to see more games, obviously, but having Bradshaw in the 2nd round seems a bit too much. He also has a mid range game that hasn't been displayed.
This is the year I think anything’s possible. Some lottery team is gonna get stuck with a steaming pile of nothing, and some late first team could end up with the best player in the draft—who knows. Watching Bradshaw step out and knock down a 3 was interesting, though the footwork seemed a little heavy. We’ll see.
It takes a big man to admit when he’s wrong, which is why I’m always surprised The HCP doesn’t apologize more often
Jonathan Mogbo: 6-8 225lbs 22.5 on draft night He was a 5’10 combo guard at one point, and had a massive growth spurt. He was 6’ barefoot at U16 according to Givony. Honestly a little in love with this dude right now. For those who wanted Achiuwa, I see this guy as Achiuwa’s body type with more BBIQ, and with playmaking ability. 3.3apg/1.8topg —1.83 ratio. The fact that it’s that close to 2.00 is fantastic.
0 from what I’ve seen. If he had an outside shot, I think he’d be for sure 1st rounder even if he’ll be old for prospect standards. He’ll probably be a mid, maaaybe early 2nd? Not totally sure yet though. He’s had huge double doubles this year, multiple 2 block games, multiple games with 3/4/5 steals. I don’t put that much into his game stats, similar to how huge Edey games don’t really change my perspective on him as a prospect, but it shows us Mogbo can do a lot of different things.
Also, I don’t think he needs to have a shot to be super effective here. We could always put Mogbo at center against smaller lineups where Mogbo is the only non-shooter. Like if we played Ant/Shae/Buzelis/Williams/Mogbo, where anyone can grab a rebound and just go. Buzelis and Williams are just two names, any 3-D forwards who can also handle the ball would work.
