RE:Sac Media praising Mantis: Bradley makes a difference
Not to be a pessimist, but folks we've been here before with Shaun Bradley, recall that it was just last year when he started the season working hard, being effective only to fade into that fouling machine who couldn't hold onto the ball. We've seen it all from the enigma that is a 7 foot 6 mantis.
The most impressive part of Shaun's play of late is his communication with the team. Shaun is more involved than season's past and that shows in not only his play but also how his teammates are incorporating his talents into the game, a couple of nice cuts into the lane rewarded by Walker and Dirk giving him the ball, and also calling his name for that mid range baseline shot he's been hitting.
Bradley needs to show this for a bit longer before I'm going to believe that he can be relied upon tho...he was very much a factor yesterday, what he will do in the future is a guess.
