Tony Bradley – Rey

I know what you’re thinking. Why in the world would I compare a main character in Rey to a guy who will spend most of his rookie year playing for the Salt Lake City Stars? Well, the biggest reason is that Tony Bradley is largely a project for the Jazz and he has a lot to prove.

Similarly, although Rey’s probably already quite a few steps ahead of Bradley in her path to becoming a Jedi considering that she kicked Kylo Ren’s butt whereas Bradley has barely seen time in an NBA game, she has a ton to prove just like Bradley.

Will Bradley pan out as an impact player in the NBA? Will Rey be able to reach her potential as a Jedi? Both face enormous odds if they hope to do so and will have their work cut out for them if they are to succeed.

How’d I do Utah Jazz/Star Wars fans? Are there any comparisons you love/hate? Which characters would you have assigned to these Jazzmen? Be sure to let me know on Twitter or in the comments below.

And be sure to tune in to Utah Jazz Star Wars night when they host the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday at 7:00 pm.
