Welcome to Phoenix, Bridges

[Phrazbit]

Ayton already has a lengthy thread. Need another for our other top 10 pick.

I love the kid, I think he could be a beast.

 

[Finito]

Best 3 and D guy in the draft. Shoots 43% from 3 that's Steph curry type stuff right there coming out.

7 foot wingspan comes from a great program and is a leader.

There's a lot to like about this kid.

Looks like TJ Warren is the odd man out.

 

[Bada0Bing]

That's a lot of dunking.

 

[GatorAZ]

I’m guessing he hasn’t been interviewed about Phoenix yet.

Robert Horry young version

He and Jackson provide exactly what PHX needs if they want to play Booker at PG every so often because that will take away the responsibility of defending the primary ball handler. I feel Bridges' ceiling could be a Kawhi Leonard if he can reach his potential to become a complete 2 way player.

Ayton and Bridges?! Thank you baby jesus!!!

That is interesting. Booker in a Harden role? The defensive pressure is off of him now.

It's great to have players that want to be here.

 

[Folster]

I think we will see a lot of Booker, Bridges, Warren, JJ, and Ayton.

 

[WildBB]

This is the draft that puts Suns back in the playoffs.

Houston wasn't a legit title contender until they got a legit PG. Booker in a Harden role with a real point? Great. Booker in the Harden role without it doesn't seem like it's going to be as successful.

I may be assuming a lot here but I don't think he was super excited to start his NBA career with mom looking over his shoulder every minute.

Logjam at SF. Admittedly I don’t know enough about Bridges but I would imagine Warren is now more expendable than ever since the Suns made this aggressive move to get him.

like i said in the draft thread,
the Bridges maneuver gets better if we trade TJ for something fresh
he has the stink of being a core piece of the team with worst record and worst defense and we need to wash it away.

I must be missing something. Isn't it blindingly obvious that they were still interested in him, since they paid a big price to trade for him?

You keep saying that without explaining why Booker doesn't have the same stink and the same need to be moved.

my question is what is Josh Jackson thinking tonight?

 

[Rab]

my question is what is Josh Jackson thinking tonight?

I don’t think JJ has anything to be worried about. Both players can be interchanged at both forward spots depending on matchups. It’s Warren who should probably be thinking he’s changing locations. Just my opinion.

he should have been thinking about that even before tonight, IMO.

Agreed.
