Thought I'd make a thread about this, the Stars are actually really fun to watch now. Ever since Rudy got healthy and they signed Georges Niang, the Stars have been great.

Rudy being back means Bradley plays in every Stars game. Niang is a really great player. I hope he gets a shot in the NBA. Dude has Boris Diaw qualities w/ his playmaking ability. The entire Stars starting lineup is pretty loaded w/ dudes I think could make it in the NBA now.

And Bradley has been great. Im pretty excited for whenever he gets his shot.

How has Bradley looked? I don't expect much from him now, but I think people here underestimate how valuable a guy like him could be.

He looks great. It's just the G-League but he has really advanced post moves and touch around the rim. He isnt a blackhole either and is starting to be more active on defense.
 
didn't even know Niang was on the team until last night. love that guy's game. such a gifted offensive player. can score from anywhere and passes like Diaw. thanks for posting.
 
Saw Joe Johnson was at the game tonight. That’s pretty cool of the guy considering he’s not really in the long term plans and will likely be gone pretty soon.
 
just checked out their lineup. 3 Iowa state guys out there with Naz Long and Deonte Burton. Isaiah Cousins who was solid at OU with Hield. Diamond Stone with Bradley at the 5.

Fun group. may have to go to a game.

It's not that Deonte Burton. He's the one who played for Nevada.

The ISU Burton is playing in Korea.
 
Break up the Stars. The box score last night showed Bradley and Niang with double figures in rebounding. I can't remember where I read it but Diamond Stone might be the sleeper of the bunch. Might have been on DraftExpress. Also Michael Qualls and Torian Graham might be long term prospects. Graham was 2nd in the Pac12 in scoring last year as a 2-3.

Diamond Stone is the Pelicans 2-way player. The Stars are letting the Pelicans 2-way players play w/ them. Stone isnt close to as good as Bradley. It's a huge skill gap that is incredibly noticeable. Stone plays like he has ants in his pants and hardly ever passes. Bradley looks like Duncan in the post in the G-League.

Joe Jesus is amazing. Will forever be a Jazz fan favorite because of the series against the Clippers last year. Glad that Rodney and Donovan have had him around to see that kind of professionalism. He’s the kind of guy that can change a team’s culture for the better.

I think Stone was acquired in a trade a couple of weeks ago by the Stars.

Yeah, actually I think you are right and I was mistaken. Charles Cooke is the Pelicans player and Mike James is the other one, but he w/ the main team.

I’m pretty sure he was most recently waived by the Bulls, and signed a G-league contract before being traded to the Stars. I don’t think he’s affiliated with an NBA team right now.

Glad everyone else is playing well though, especially Tony Bradley. The purpose of the Stars should be building a team around our young talent so they can lead and successfully transition to the Jazz rotation down the road. It’s also nice for Utah’s affiliate team to be fun to watch.

Still wish that the Jazz would’ve added Derrick Jones Jr. to a 2-way contract after Phoenix cut him. Think adding him to that previously mentioned group would’ve been amazing.
 
What type of player do you see Bradley as? I'm having hard time getting excited about him. I will admit I haven't watched him play in the GLeague, but the highlights don't look impressive to me.
