For me the highlight of last night was hearing Nellie say postgame that Terry and Bradley were his best players. Nellie's willingness to go to Bradley last night is a terrific sign.

I have always said that one of the biggest things keeping Bradley on the bench was not Nellie's evalution of the player himself, but rather his evaluation of the team as a whole at that position. If Bradley can give you 20 good minutes a night, but you don't have another true center to throw out there for the other 48, then Bradley becomes a victim of gameplanning. A coach has to mold his team, and I think he usually wants one mold only, not two.

But now, you have interchangeable guys at that position. If it's not Damp, it's Bradley--and vice versa. It allows you to always keep a legit center in the mold. Bradley should see a lot of time this year. I'm loving it.

Not to mention the rest of the depth, which is tremendous too. Stackhouse is a warrior getting to the line.
