The Sporting News: NBA Mock Draft 2017: With lottery order set, first round takes shape
Sean Devaney, Updated at 10:06 a.m. ET [AKA 19 May 2017]


29. San Antonio — Tony Bradley, C, North Carolina. Bradley did not play at the Combine, but his 12.0 percent body fat was second-most at the camp. Still, he is athletic for his size and moves well. If he stays in, he will probably be a first-rounder.

Do not like. Very raw and doesnt have athletic foundation needed -- doesnt move feet well. He'll be in D League then overseas for a long time.

6-10 - Center - UNC

An intriguing center prospect who projects well to the next level thanks to his length and athleticism.

Pros
Bradley has wingspan for days. His 7-4 wingspan and nice athleticism make him a force on the defensive end. He's got the type of frame that makes scouts drool and his upside is as high as just about any prospect out there.

He's got a ton of raw talent but is also pretty advanced with his shooting stroke, handles and understanding of the game. He can hit jumpers out to 3 and is becoming a solid free throw shooter.

Does most of his work in the paint and is committed to being a big man, not just floating around the perimeter.

Cons
Is still putting it all together and figuring out just how good he can be.

Isn't the most explosive leaper (like a Dwight Howard coming out of HS) and doesn't have great foot speed, in terms of lateral quickness.

Needs to add strength to his long frame.

Has an old school game, which isn't really a negative, but it'll be interesting to see how he fits into today's fast paced game.

Comparisons
Less crazy Andrew Bynum, although he's about an inch or two shorter.

Projection: lottery to mid first round pick in the 2017 or 2018 NBA Draft

No thanks. Bust.

29. San Antonio Spurs: Tony Bradley (North Carolina, PF/C, Freshman)

Tony Bradley could sneak into the first round after showing skills in workouts he didn't have the chance to show during the regular season.

He already stood out under the NBA's scouting lens with his size and length. He shot 57.3 percent and registered one of the highest offensive rebounding percentages in the country.

Over the last few years in the draft, the Spurs haven't put much of an emphasis on finding NBA-ready contributors. They'll value Bradley's youth (19 years old), unteachable tools, efficiency and room to improve offensively.

He can be a Star. He's young and strong. Already good and has range.
