Maxi and Holmes haven't looked good in preseason. I can imagine the Mavs scrambling for a different 3rd-string center.
Based on counting stats, Bradley is a good rebounder and shot-blocker. Free throw shooting is solid for a big- 68 percent.
His advanced stats in 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 were actually pretty good. He had a positive total RAPTOR in both years.
He is probably just being signed to play on our G-league squad but I think he's worth gambling on. I would also be fine with them waiving Markieff Morris and making Bradley the 15th man. He provides better defense, rebounding and is much younger than Morris.
This might be a decent move.
