STAR UNDERDOG

NBA ROLE: ATHLETIC, TWO-WAY WING

 

Mikal Bridges: an elite, two-way lineup stabilizer w/ experience playing multiple roles*; true 3&D wing - accurate catch & shoot threat, sequence defender; very confident shooter: contested, off curls, behind screens - shot 43% in 2021; plays well off the ball - Bridges is a great lob option, finds himself open after cutting backdoor; lacks much creativity OTD, though attacks well off closeouts & dribble drives; ALL-DEFENSE: Bridges has excellent intangibles + focus defensively: long wingspan combined w/ discipline causes trouble for top opposition, looks to shut down guys; (continued) strength development and tighter handling would put Bridges in another territory; unlocked a bit more potential during PHX’s Finals push in 2021; traded to Knicks in blockbuster deal** (2024) - Bridges is a top player in NYC
