y On the other hand he was very athletic, high energy guy and had developed into a really exceptional defender. I knew he would never become an All-Star, but I did believe his defense alone would lead to him become a very high impact role player for somebody out there. Sure enough he went to Memphis,Air Jordan 13 Blue Grey White, and he had a lot to do with their transformation into a legit playoff threat and borderline contender in the west. Many people would tell you today that Memphis would be nowhere near as strong without Tony Allen039;s defense on the perimeter.When I look at Avery Bradley I see Tony Allen in his Celtics days, only I think Bradley actually has higher upside. I think he039;s a much better defender already than Allen was in his early Celtics days, I think he039;s more athletic, I think he039;s better offensively than Allen was, and (at his young age) I think he has more potential to improve. Like the impact TA had in Memphis, when AB returned from injury this season he had an almost immediate impact on the Celtics - our defensive rating instantly (and dramatically) improved, and we immediately went on a long winning streak. This impact in only his third season, and only 2 games back from a major surgery. Many people seem to think AB is easilly replacable because he will never be an All-Star, but Allen was never an All-Star and most would say he is a critical part of the Grizzlie039;s success right now. Likewise there have been other great defensive players in the past such as Bruce Bowen and Shane Battier who have never come close to seeing an All-Star game, yet still their value to their teams has never been questioned. A lot of naysayers would also point to AB039;s poor performance in the playoffs, but in answer to that you need to consider that he was played out of position at the PG spot against a team who constantly had 2-3 point guards on the floor pressuring the ball. Put a 3rd year Tony Allen (or even the current one) at PG in that scenario and I doubt he would have fared any better. I blame Doc rather than AB for that because I think any number of guys (Terry, Williams,Nike Air Max 2013 Women, Crawford,Air Jordan 3 Black Grey, Lee) would have probably been more cofortable at the PG spot than Bradley was. Anyhow I believe that within the next 2-3 years Avery Bradley is going to have a Tony Allen/Bruce Bowen/Shane Battier type impact on the teams he plays for. A 039;glue guy039; who makes every team he plays for better, and does so without the need to have the ball in his hands. He may even become better, defensively, than any one of those guys and is probably already on par with all of them (bar maybe Battier) offensively.So that039;s my take on the AB debate. Where do you guys think he will be in 2-3 years, and do you think he will have as big an impact on his teams as those guys have had on theirs? More importantly do you think we will regret it down the track if we trade him away now?
