After missing out on Kawhi Leonard, the Los Angeles Lakers quickly filled out their depleted roster, with Avery Bradley among the players bought in. The 28-year-old signed a two-year, $9.7 million contract, and Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated is reporting that the shooting guard has already made a positive impact within the organization.

Bradley established himself as a starter during his seven years with the Boston Celtics, and the guard also performed well with the Pistons, following his trade in 2017. However, his subsequent move to the Clippers was underwhelming, and Bradley spent the final months of the 18-19 season with the Memphis Grizzlies.

Over 14 appearances, he managed 16.1 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game - and Bradley will contend with Danny Green and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope for a starting spot in the Lakers' backcourt.
