While he was highly regarded as an NBA prospect after playing well for BYU, in the NBA Bradley has a reputation for being inconsistent as well as not aggressive when it comes to defense. His height gives him an advantage but can be a weakness because it limits his mobility. He is also known for getting into foul trouble due to his awkward body type.
