Correction 2026-07-18: raised from 4.0 MPG to 9.0 as part of a team-wide rebalancing of the Toronto minute model, which had left 2,732 season-minutes assigned to nobody. The GP figure is unchanged at 18; a two-way rookie's NBA appearances are call-ups covering guard absences, and a call-up who dresses generally plays single-digit-to-low-double-digit minutes rather than four.

Fantasy value

Bradley's two-way deal allows up to 50 active NBA games, but availability is not the same as rotation opportunity. His college assist/steal combination is the reason to monitor him in deep dynasty.

Career record

Pre-NBA: Four college seasons — one at Alabama (SEC), three at Arizona (Pac-12, then Big 12). A McDonald's All-American out of high school who could not play in the game because of injury, he was a rotation freshman at Alabama, a bench guard in his first Arizona year, then a two-year starter and eventually the lead guard on a top-tier team.

Awards: SEC All-Freshman (2023); Big 12 Player of the Year, first-team All-Big 12, Big 12 All-Defensive, Big 12 Tournament MVP and third-team All-American (2026). Draft: 2026, second round, 50th pick, Toronto; signed a two-way contract with Raptors 905.

No NBA record yet. Bradley has not appeared in an NBA regular season game. His most recent competitive season is the 2025-26 Arizona line above.

Durability: 37, 36, 37 and 39 games — he did not miss a college game in four years. The only recorded absence is the 2022 McDonald's All-American game, which he missed with an injury before enrolling.

Trajectory: A four-year, low-variance profile: the assist rate climbed every season at Arizona, the steal rate held above 1.4 for three straight years, and the free throw mark sat above 80% from his sophomore season onward, which is the usual leading indicator for a jumper. The three-point shooting is the open question — .464 on low volume, then .321, then .394 — and it is the difference between backup point guard and G League lifer. He is third or fourth on Toronto's point guard depth chart behind Quickley and Shead, on a two-way, so 2026-27 is a Raptors 905 season with call-ups. He becomes worth a dynasty roster spot if he leads 905 in assists while shooting above 36% from three, and worth a redraft look only if Quickley misses extended time and Bradley beats out Hepburn for the resulting minutes.
