Classification: Freshman

Projected Draft Range: 2nd Round to Undrafted
Pros:
Decent scorer off the dribble
Adequate playmaker
Solid rebounder for his size
Decent defender that can get steals
Very good athlete
Cons:
Needs to improve his shooting
Reluctant to take outside shots
Can be too scoring focused on offense

Summary:
Jaden Bradley is an athletic, skilled combo guard that has a solid, versatile set of skills that could prove to be useful at the next level. He is a downhill driver that can score and he is also a pesky defender, but he will need to improve his jump shot and show that defend taller players in games. He is a talented prospect that with a strong season could enable him to be a first round pick in the 2024 draft. However, his alleged involvement in a major off-court incident could raise significant red flags regarding his character, which could cause his draft stock to slide on draft day.
