Bradley shot 40%(39.5) from 3 last season. Rondo will look 10x better in a non-tank season and since he's healthier. Rondo is going to make Zeller look GOOD. Olynyk, Bradley and Sullinger still have upside. Smart will at worst be high energy and play D as 3rd guard.
There's a huge range for how good they could be, but I think they have a very good shot to make the playoffs as 8th seed. I don't think a 2014 Suns-ish season is out of the question, a LOT of things would have to go right.
Bradley shot less than half as many three pointers as G. Green did last year.
Which Bradley are you talking about? The one that started the season shooting excessive long 2PT jumpers? Or the one that ended the season with his feet firmly outside the arc on those same shots?
Before the All Star break, Bradley shot just 3.4 3PA per 36.
After the All Star break, Bradley shot 5.5 3PA per 36.
In April, he ended the season shooting 6.7 per 36 (hitting 52.9% of them!).
Not quite up there with the ridiculous 7.9 3PA per 36 that Gerald launched last year. But a fair bit more than half that rate.
And certainly a rate that should command a bit of attention from defenses if Bradley can maintain it at a reasonable efficiency (he doesn't have to keep hitting them at 52.9%, obviously).
