OKC Thunder free agent No. 1) Tony Bradley

Acquired at this past deadline in the George Hill deal to Philadelphia, Tony Bradley is a player that could spark some serious intrigue from the front office this offseason.

Measuring in at 6-10, 247 pounds with a 7-5 wingspan, the big man certainly has an impressive build to him, while his still youthful age of 23 actually fits the timeline that this OKC Thunder core is currently on.

In 18 games played with the franchise since landing in the Sooner State, Bradley has seen (minutes average) and, in turn, has produced to the tune of 8.9 points, 6.3 boards, and just shy of a block on 66 percent shooting from the field.

A late first-round pick out of Duke University not four years ago, the big man has obviously showcased the potential to be a serviceable five at the NBA level.

In fact, his time spent in the league has caught the attention of one of the most dominant player at his own position in Joel Embiid who shared his beliefs that Bradley should be viewed as a big worth building around.

Now, while we’re under the impression that this high level of praise was likely more so due to their personal relationship, there’s no denying that, with the proper development, at the very least the youngster could develop into a solid role player at the pivot.

Be it with the OKC Thunder or somewhere else, Tony Bradley will find his way onto a team’s payroll in 2020-21.

As a cheap/ short-term depth option to have down low, Presti should seriously consider re-uping with the fourth-year pro.
