Jaden Bradley, Alabama guard, reportedly makes plans for 2023-24 season

Jaden Bradley, a former 5-star recruit and Alabama guard, has entered the transfer portal after he started 22 games this past season.

The news came from Jamie Shaw of On3 Sports, as Bradley will look for a new program after he chose Alabama over the likes of Arizona, Gonzaga, Kentucky and Florida State. Bradley averaged 6.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.8 turnovers in 19.8 minutes per game this past season.

While Bradley played in all 37 games and made 22 starts, he started the season coming off the bench, then saw his playing time diminish down the stretch. Bradley even campaigned for Jahvon Quinerly to take his spot in the starting lineup for the SEC Tournament, and Quinerly thrived in the role.

Bradley played less than 10 minutes in 4 of the last 7 games, and just 5 minutes in Alabama’s 71-64, season-ending loss to San Diego State in the Sweet 16.

Here’s one of his highlights from the season:
