During one of the many rabbit holes I got into while looking through Barttorvik.com (analytics site), I came across something concerning regarding Bradford's defense. As a disclaimer, I like Bradford and look forward to what he will become in his time at K-State.
First I filtered all D1 players by players that only play for high major schools, next by height (including only players 6'-10" or taller), and lastly by year (including only freshman and sophomores). After I filtered to the players I wanted, I sorted by the websites D-PRPG rating (essentially the websites overall defense rating for a player, from what I can tell). Below is what I found; essentially out of all the player meeting the criteria above, Bradford is the worst in the country defensively.
Not sure if the link below will include the filters I described but take a look for yourself:
