In my relatively uneducated opinion, prior to this season Gus gets an incomplete largely due to lack of talent. I think most of us agree that those conditions no longer apply. It may be inexperienced talent, but it's talent nonetheless. As a result, this year is the first year I think we can really get a feel for just how good of a coach Bradley is...or at the very least get a clear indication of exactly what kind of head coach he is capable of being. Should we rate him as a complete project? Probably not, no matter what the end results are.

 

Having said that, we also have to remember that the onus to develop existing talent is not solely the purview of the head coach. His assistants will have arguably more influence in the development of our guys as Bradley does and that can't be overlooked.
