Bradshaw is 4th on the team in rebounding behind Chism, Crews, and Smith. Smith is a better rebounder then Bradshaw.

Not really. I try to avoid the use of isms. In fact, the only one I can think of that I like is hedonism.

4 rebounds a game out of the PF spot is far from productive. You people act as if he's getting 8 or 9 rebounds a night. The idea that his defense is outstanding is also a total myth. When teams throw the ball into the post, as Arkansas did yesterday until Stan Heath lost his mind, they have their way with Bradshaw.

Once again, your entire opinion is based on what you see on a stat sheet, as opposed to watching the game.

Bradshaw is playing out of position, so to hold him to the standard of a normal PF, is just unfair. We start him at the 4, and he plays most of his D there, but that doesnt define him as a player. His defense IS outstanding, no, he cant stop a 6'8" PF in the low post, as stated, he has to play out of position, is that his fault?

I never quoted any numbers, b/c his contribution cant be measured in numbers. He may have 4 rebounds a game, but how many balls does he tip out to someone else who gets the stat? How many balls does he deflect in a passing lane that someone else gets a steal credited for? How many balls get knocked away from someone that he hustles and gets that he doesnt get a stat for?

Once again, all you do is look for negatives. You hide your negativity behind "i complimented him", when the fact is, you are just one of those people who are not only smarter than everyone else, but no matter what, you will NEVER be satisfied. It's a shame you have the internet and have to spread your BS to the rest of us.

Watching Dane switch off to Beverly was like watching McCurdy guard Lofton, laughable.

If a guy can't effectively guard the player he is assigned to guard, he is a defensive liabilty. If someone is playing power forward, you compare their production to other power forwards. That is a fairly simple concept, even though some people seem to be struggling with it. You all also act as if Bradshaw was an offensive threat before he was moved down low. His first two years at UT prove that is a bunch of garbage. The pure fact is the guy is marginally valuable player. His experience and passing are assets. Everything else he does is mediocre at best.

I think he would be much better utilized at the 3 but that wasn't an option these last two years. It's a shame, but that is why is has value. I fully expect our inside players to excel next year, despite the loss of Dane, though.

Looking at the stats page, I think Lofton, J Smith, R. Smith, Crews, and Chism should be the starters.

Bradshaw is injured and would be better off coming off the bench and getting less minutes. That would be a tough assignment for J Smith against the other teams small forward though.

Thats true to a degree, but J Smith is outrebounding Bradshaw right now. If Bradshaw is around the ball as much as you claim how could that be?

The only reason I don't boo him vociferously is the effort he gives. If a guy produced as little as Bradshaw and jaked it, I would probably attempt to purchase seats near his parents for the express purpose of berating them for creating such a loser.

I am somewhat ambivalent on Bradshaw. I like his hustle and heart, but I have been frustrated watching teams recently basically ignore him once he gets the ball on offense. However, I have to ask why, if Bradshaw is so completely horrible, does Pearl continue to give him significant playing minutes? I'm no expert, so I'll side with Pearl, who makes more than $1M a year to coach basketball and win games.
