Avery Bradley spent 12 years in the NBA and learned a lot of things about playing and coaching basketball during that time.
He has been retired for a couple of seasons now but is coming back to the NBA in a new way.
Marc Spears is reporting that the Utah Jazz have officially hired Bradley as the team’s Vice President of Player Development.
According to Spears, Bradley’s responsibilities “will include guiding the collaboration between locker room, front office, and coaching staff, and evaluating personnel.”

Bradley entered the NBA in 2010, first playing for the Boston Celtics before moving on to the Detroit Pistons, Los Angeles Clippers, Memphis Grizzlies, Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat, and Houston Rockets.
Bradley retired in 2022 after playing for the Lakers for a second time.
He has a career average of 11 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.7 assists.
The former player is joining the Jazz as the team is attempting to find its new identity and chart a course forward.
They ended 2023-24 as the 12th seed in the West and have a number of young, up-and-coming players and draft picks.
Bradley is obviously very eager to get started and help the team reach its next level.
There is a hope that the Jazz will be true playoff contenders within a few years but right now they are struggling to rise above the bottom of the Western Conference.
They are going to need assistance from the players, coaches, and experts of the game like Bradley in order to become one of the best in the West.
