Arizona head coach Tommy Lloyd has announced that Jaden Bradley will join the Wildcats as a transfer and have three seasons of eligibility remaining.
In his first season of college basketball, the 6-foot-3 Bradley was named to the SEC All-Freshman team and started 22 of 37 games for the University of Alabama. He averaged 6.4 points, 3.1 assists and 2.6 rebounds while playing 20 minutes per game.
"We are excited to have Jaden and his family join our program," Lloyd said. "He had an outstanding freshman season for one of the top teams in the country. We know that as he continues to grow his game, he can really make an impact on our program to help make everyone around him better."
Bradley, a native of Rochester, N.Y., scored a season-high 18 points against Gonzaga and reached double figures in the scoring column 11 times throughout the season. He shot over 40% inside the arc and got to the free throw line 118 times, showing his ability to penetrate and get into the lane to create things for himself and others. He led the Crimson Tide in assists 17 times and paced them in steals on seven occasions.
For high school, Bradley attended IMG Academy in Florida, where he was a 2022 McDonald's All-American and a consensus five-star recruit. He was ranked as the top point guard in the 2022 recruiting class and a top 15 overall recruit in the country. Prior to arriving at IMG Academy in 2020, Bradley helped the Cannon School in Charlotte, N.C. win its first state championship since 2006 by scoring 27 points in the title game and was named 2020 North Carolina Gatorade Player of the Year.
