I Think I Know Why The Raptors Drafted Jaden Bradley

The Raptors used the 50th overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft to select Jaden Bradley out of Arizona, and it’s the kind of move that feels very familiar if you’ve been watching this team closely. On paper, Bradley brings exactly the type of traits Toronto has leaned into in the second round recently: defensive effort, point guard experience, and a strong background in a winning program. He’s a 6'4" senior guard who knows how to compete and can handle the ball, defend, and play within a system. But like most second-round picks, the real question isn’t just what he is right now — it’s what actually translates. The shooting numbers look encouraging at nearly 39% from three, but the low volume raises questions about how much of that is real at the NBA level. In this video, I break down his player profile, strengths, weaknesses, and where he fits into a Raptors guard rotation that already includes other recent developmental picks. Then we zoom out and look at the bigger picture: was this actually a good use of pick 50, or just another example of Toronto sticking to a very specific draft formula? Let me know what you think of the pick — are you in or out on Jaden Bradley? ✅ Shop The Merch: https://www.kijiji.ca/o-profile/10066... 🏀 Become a channel member:    / @jacob_gramegna   🏀 PayPal: paypal.me/jacobgramegna 🏀 Join the Discord:   / discord   🏀 Follow me on Twitter:   / jacob_gramegna   Hey, this is Jacob Gramegna.
