Tony Bradley’s journey with the UNC basketball program was a rather simple one.

Arrive on campus. Contribute to a national championship squad. Depart for the NBA and become a first-round draft pick.

Bradley wasn’t a starter for a very deep UNC basketball national championship squad, but he was an important contributor off the bench. His minutes were limited- not playing more than 20 minutes in any game during his lone season as a Tar Heel, but the minutes he did play were very meaningful, as he quickly earned the reputation of being a very good rebounding big man.

When he declared for the NBA Draft, many felt that Bradley would look for feedback and would proceed to return to campus for another season. With hopes of Bradley stepping into the starting lineup the following season, UNC basketball fans were disappointed to hear that Bradley was heading to the NBA, as being a first-round pick was too much to pass up.
