One More Cent
In early Spring in 2015, I was contacted by Oluwaseyi Oseni via GDAY Camps in New York about a 5th grader that is a must see. Even though the camp was at max capacity, I listened to my hunch, and I invited Jaden to an Exposure camp that was dedicated to 6th and 7th graders only. He held his own and remained as a placeholder in class of 2022. This year I was able to watch Jaden on multiple stages as he continued to show growth as a player.
It’s not too often that you find a glue guy like Bradley. He is super skilled and is a playmaker or “a cook” as the kids say, always serving his teammates with opportunity. — @ Courtside_Ace
New York is known for producing point guards with innate scoring ability and flashy ball handling. In addition to the former, Jaden has other weapons that are often overlooked at this level. Low assist to turnover ratio, elite conditioning, gets to the line 5–7X per contest(nearly 90%).
“Moving from Rochester to Charlotte, NC has been smooth for Jaden. Southern hospitality is real” said Jaden’s Dad, Nate Bradley. Jaden has adjusted well and really blossomed during the transition.
Although, the Southeast region is known for big, fast, athletic guards that usually smoother guards from other areas, Jaden as a 6ft PG, he is equipped with versatility that allows him to combat brute athleticism with poise, counters, and most imperative, decision making. In the country’s top Circuit, (NYBL), top tournament (MIT), and Nationals (League Finals), Jaden established himself as one of the most complete players in 2022.
“Playing at the Boys and Girls Club in Rochester with its ferocious competitors has prepared us for the physically rugged game of the south.” — Nate Bradley
Back in Rochester, Jaden was able to lay the foundation with Jamar Gray and GDay Training. In between school, saxophone, football, and normal teen life, Bradley now trains occasionally with Dominic Bishop and has a shooting coach, Rod Howard.
“Jaden also plays football and maybe better at football than basketball” says his dad. He is a pass first QB with very good arm strength and great feet. He is actually playing receiver & tailback too, this season. On defense he primarily plays safety and some middle linebacker”.
Stay tuned as we watch Jaden #emerge over the next few years.R
