📰 Bradley Atkinson Is A Fraud Whose Empty Stats Doom The Tropics
September 17, 2026
Nobody wants to say it, but the Tropics are an absolute house of cards waiting to collapse the moment the playoffs tip off. Let’s be real: Bradley Atkinson is being hailed as the league’s premier playmaker with his 6.0 APG, but that’s empty calories. When you’re feeding a guy like Ethan Benne, the assists come easy, yet Bradley Atkinson only manages a measly 14.8 PPG. He isn’t a threat to score, which allows defenses to sag off him and suffocate the Tropics' interior game.
The Tropics are in serious trouble and everyone knows it. Compare Atkinson to a guy like Eli Washington, who is putting up 20.7 PPG and 5.9 APG—Washington is a dual-threat nightmare who actually elevates his team when the pressure is on. Bradley Atkinson? He’s a glorified bystander. If he’s your floor general, you aren't winning a championship; you’re winning a one-way ticket to a first-round exit. This is embarrassing for a team that supposedly has the league MVP on the roster.
Let's look at the reality of the standings. While the Gremlins are surging behind the pure scoring dominance of Ty Burton at 30.6 PPG, the Tropics are relying on a pass-first guard who disappears when the bucket needs to be found. Someone on that roster needs to step up or step aside before the postseason makes their lack of scoring depth look even worse. The Tropics are the biggest choke artists in the BAL, and come playoff time, they’re going to prove exactly why high assist numbers don’t mean a thing when you don’t have the guts to put the ball in the hoop yourself.
