Over at ESPN, Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo recently did a breakdown of notable 2024 NBA Draft developments. Sadly, Aaron Bradshaw was part of this as one of the Kentucky Wildcats’ “underwhelming freshmen.”
It included thoughts on Bradshaw, Justin Edwards, and DJ Wagner.
However, it was only Bradshaw who Woo made the case for seriously considering a return to Kentucky for a sophomore season.
“He hasn’t looked particularly college-ready, reflected by both his lack of statistical productivity and his struggles to impact the game positively outside the stat sheet. He has looked a step slow reading the game and also hasn’t shown any capacity to stretch the floor while making just 58% of his free throws. Based on Bradshaw’s production so far, it’s hard to make a great case for his draftability other than the fact he was a top player in his recruiting class, wrote Woo while later adding, “And if Bradshaw can’t earn the trust of the coaching staff, this might become a situation where he should think hard about returning to school to rebuild his draft profile.”
