He is average 15.5 PPG. You think him averaging 4.5 more per game is going to solve anything?!?! I think he is just fine where he is at IF he is playing his usual defense. The fact he hasn't been is what is really hurting the team. 15.5 PPG is just fine IMO. We need a rebounding, scoring PF more than we need Bridges to score 4.5 more. We need Ayton to be more consistent more than we need Bridges to score 4.5 more.
Way to miss the point entirely.
The point is I don't believe Bridges scoring 20 PPG (regardless of if you are on that he can do it bandwagon or not) is going to solve anything.
It makes him a threat opposing teams need to gameplan for.
Scoring 4.5 more?!? I doubt that changes any game plans.

Booker felt good enough to cap off a 58-point performance in the game he injured his groin. Maybe he thought he was fine based on his inexperience with groin issues. If Book is telling them he’s fine it’s hard to criticize them. Is there any outrage if he re-injures it on the 27th instead of 25th?
He's out for 2 games, comes back for 2 games scoring 58 in one of them and then is back out with the groin injury for 3 more games before the Christmas miracle that put him in the Denver game. He's always talked about winning, postseason play and playing on Christmas. Knowing the kind of competitor he is, had I been the decision maker I would have been very reluctant to put him out there.
Yes.
And means he’s probably a good enough creator that he’s opening up opportunities for others.
It’s also a failure to on the coach to play a guy coming off soft tissue issues 42 minutes in his first game back.
