That Mikal Bridges Kawhi-esque leap is coming...

[feelosofer]

Kahwi might be a lofty comparison BUT he has it in him to be a foundational player for the Nets. He can play both ends of the floor and while he isn't a top level athlete he can score within 15 feet on top of being a very good shooter.

 

[HandyWithTheSteel]

Kawhi might be a perfect comparison. He’s got near identical shooting splits as Kawhi and is similar defensively.

Bridges already surpassing a BK legend

Never seen a more devastating stat. This nikka Bridges has scored more points in a month than Simmons has scored in a year

 

[Art Barr]

Bridges comparable as a net is a low value meal Dale Ellis.
after the ellis mavs trade to Seattle.
When Ellis was behind aguirre and londo Blackman. if I remember right.

All time bad draft trade. Just terrible.

It's why I can't shyt on Embiid. Between Simmons, Fultz having the yips, and them keeping Tobias Harris and Simmons over Butler... now this... a lot of this shyt is not even his fault

Not reading that wall of text! Less is more!

Mmmm Cacarot!

He’s closer to pg13 than Kawhi Leonard. That’s who his style of pay is more equivalent too. He can’t create his own offense like Kawhi. He doesn’t have that type of bag

Nets ended up winning

His game is certainly more PG but his rise from obscure role player to All-Star level talent (and potentially beyond) is more Kawhi and that's the basis of the thread...

It seems Monty may have held back Mikal.

I hope he continues to do well on the Nets.

This makes zero sense at all. PG was playing pg certain stretches this season, and you think he can’t create his own offense?

PG13 was helping facilitating because Jackson and wall were underwhelming but he wasn’t initially running The offense. The same thing Kawhi is doing right now while PG13 is injured.


And Kawhi has an elite iso game. . Surely you know this and is aware that Bridges doesn’t have that. Bridges is elite at catch and shoot. Two different games.

The second part of what you said is true, Bridges still has a way to with the 1-1 game. But I can’t see the PG comparison at all.

I never compared pg and bridges. I said he’s closer to pg13 than Kawhi. I don’t see the Kawhi comparison at all and don’t think he’ll ever be as good as a healthy prime Kawhi Leonard. On offense or defense. I truly don’t think he’s even on prime PG13 level either. But he is a good player. He’s ballin for Brooklyn. Would look great in GSW offense.
