Honestly, Bridges just plays honest defense. He watches passing lanes, looks for double teams, traps, plays back door cuts, plays for the lob, switches on picks, etc. It's all the basic stuff. He just hasn't gotten lazy like 90% of the NBA players now that they are filthy rich. Bridges plays defense because that's basketball to him. Offense just comes along with it. My kind of player. Also, great channel, I hope you come out with more than one video every 3 months lol. The Phoenix market definitely could use a solid, well informed RUclips channel to come to. WE NEED IT lol.
Watching good defense is more entertaining to me than watching a barrage of 3s. Call me old school, but I just enjoy watching it. Thanks for the video.
Great video. Mikal is one of the only things giving me hope for the Suns' future. On the constructive feedback front, there are a few clips that have been included twice in here. Keep doing what you're doing guys, love your content.
Good length, good quicks. Plenty of practice defending elite competition. Very lightweight; good acceleration and finishing. A prototypical NBA defender with plenty of room to grow. I hope PHX NEVER trades him.
I wanted the Knicks to draft him so badly last year. Same with Deandre Hunter this year. Defense, I.Q., Team-First Game, Quickness, scrappiness, and last but not least, Champion pedigree. Traits that are far too often overlooked. Both considered safe, 'high floor' guys(like thats a bad thing).
We might as well take hunter or Culver and move tj and jj for some second round picks and then sign a Beverley or collison and hope Clarke falls to the second round

Well said my friend well said
i guess I am pretty off topic but does anyone know of a good site to watch newly released movies online?
@Maxim Clyde I would suggest flixzone. You can find it on google :)
@Orion Jaxton Yea, I've been using Flixzone for months myself =)
@Orion Jaxton thanks, I signed up and it seems like a nice service =) I really appreciate it!
can't wait to see this dude improve over the next few seasons
How you like him now!!!
The key is positioning. He is never really out of position on defense even as a rookie, doesn't reach too much and sticks to the fundamentals.

He won 2 NCAA champions in college... big part of it was his defense.
He went to my highschool im not even lying I’m also family friends with him I have proof
@@VAgreco22 Cool! Go GV Patriots!
It’s only a matter of time before Andersen locks in on that 3 point shot.
Wish he wasn't the only Suns who can play defense.
He's not, but he is one of the few.
Josh Jackson, Kelly Oubre, and Deanthony Melton all can
Yeah oubre is a good defender
some other suns players could play defence, its just that mikal bridges is the face of the suns' defence
Awesome to watch defense highlights that aren't just blocks
Great video. Mikal is one of the only things giving me hope for the Suns' future. On the constructive feedback front, there are a few clips that have been included twice in here. Keep doing what you're doing guys, love your content.
this vid deserves smooth jazz🙏🏿 beautiful to watch
Bridges is longer than I thought. He can be a great 3 and D player for us.
Man this video really brightens up my day. In this sad season, he's been a light!
This Kid Is Baby Khawi 💯
gold
Bro he really a 6’7 lock with max wingspan that can knock down threes
My favorite player on the suns
The Longboi Locksmith.

This was really enjoyable
Mikal is going to be that missing key to the Suns. Once his shot catches up, it's oveeerr
I love this guy! he’s playing like Ariza.........or maybe better in the future
He's a terrific team player. The Sixers were stupid giving him away.
I wanted the Knicks to draft him so badly last year. Same with Deandre Hunter this year. Defense, I.Q., Team-First Game, Quickness, scrappiness, and last but not least, Champion pedigree. Traits that are far too often overlooked. Both considered safe, 'high floor' guys(like thats a bad thing).
That is to play lockdown defense putting big effort
Play like Scottie pippen
I really wanted him for my NY Knicks
If anyone is wondering why he wasn't traded away with most of the roster... Defense wins games. We are looking to win this upcoming season.
Tony allen reincarnated
Tony Allen gives you nothing offensively. Mikal has 100+ 3's made this season
Styled Prince you’re right😁
@@theobserversports7224 lol yea. Allen was physical tho bridges defense reminds me of Shane Battier. Beat u to spot, keeps hands off until last sec
Philly could use a player like him
thEY shOUldVE drAFted HiM
@@vargasrafael15 They did...and traded him to PHX for a bust!
😍😍😍😍😍
who did this
How’d they lose so many games with this guy playing such shut down defense?
It is very simple the rest of the team didn't.
Yeah but one or two great defensive plays can win or lose a game sometimes
Everyone else is open lol.
We might as well take hunter or Culver and move tj and jj for some second round picks and then sign a Beverley or collison and hope Clarke falls to the second round
Second coming of ....Robert Horry, i know many suns fans hate Horry but Mikals game is resemblance him a lot
He went to my highschool im not even lying I’m also family friends with him I have proof
Trevor Ariza 2.0
