its pretty interesting considering Bradley was our starting shooting guard last year, but Bradley identifies himself in the interview as teh "backup point guard" and talks about looking at the game differently

I think Doc views him as the starting SG and backup PG. Doc and Rondo also talked alot about Rondo guarding 2 guards during stretches so they can take advantage of Avery's ability to pressure the ball.

I think Avery can start, leave after a bit for Jason Terry, then come back in WITH Terry in the 2nd quarter once Rondo sits.

Eh. We need you to focus on dominating alongside rondo and do what you did last season shooting,slashing.and most importantly defending without overthinking..we have our pg now and in the future. Not a lot of minutes to go around there.

Bradley is a combo guard. He needs to be able to play both guard positions well.
