Player PRO-tential Index - Nachbar 7, Yao 13, Maddox 64

RIET - don't put words in my mouth.

I never said Michael Brdley was or will be better than Gasol or Chandler. What I said was that it was lame for you to use him in particular to make your point. You simply cannot look at a players rookie year or the draf order to judge how good a player is.

In 5 years you can call me up and compare Bradley to anyone you like. if he's a scrub then he's a scrub - but you still have to give a player adequate development and PLAYING time to prove his case. You can't compare Bradley who got a TOTAL of 118 playing minutes behind good frontcourt players like Davis and Clark to Gasol who played 3,007 minutes on a team with a lousy frontcourt.

The guys a stud, of course and I'd gladly trade him for half the Raptors roster - but you can't absolutely say that Bradley wouldn't have fared a million times better had he been given the same opportunity that Gasol had.

Right?
