Number 1: Avery Bradley

Avery Bradley has quietly gone unnoticed this off-season after agreeing to re-up with the Clippers on a two-year deal (one of which is partially guaranteed).

After coming off an injury plagued season, Bradley will look to regain his form like it once was with the Boston Celtics. There, Bradley was a two-time All-Defensive player, and consistently improved his scoring averages.

Clamp City should be very exciting to see with 1st-Team All Defense Patrick Beverley, Bradley and Mbah a Moute. And in certain situations, it may be worthwhile to start Mbah a Moute alongside Bev and Bradley, in case the Clippers are facing off with an offensive powerhouse.

It’s also worth mentioning that Bradley is excellent trade bait — contenders are constantly in pursuit of players with his exact skills, and if the Clippers could swing him for a draft pick or two, the future would appear even brighter.

Although, if Avery can get back to playing to his old ways and stay healthy, the Clippers may want to guarantee the second year of his deal.
