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.
