9) Avery Bradley, Boston Celtics

The Boston Celtics were one of the surprise teams the last two seasons. Expected to be a rebuilding team, Boston finished in a three-way tie with the Miami Heat and Atlanta Hawks with the third best record in the Eastern Conference.

Even though Avery Bradley is a natural point guard, he plays the shooting guard position for the Celtics since they have All-Star point guard Isaiah Thomas.

Bradley set a career high in points at 15.2 per game and steals at 1.5 per game last season. He is known as a solid two-way player. The first three years of his career were a struggle offensively, as he averaged fewer than 10 points per game. But the last three seasons he has averaged at least 14 points per game, and has developed an accurate jump shot.

He was recognized for his defensive performance last season, getting the honor of NBA All-Defensive First Team. Bradley is a lock-down defender.

If Bradley can develop a three-point shot, he would take the next step in his game ranking him a few slots higher in the shooting guard rankings.
