35% is pretty damn good for a big but I'm not expecting it. The one thing going for him is that he does have a good FT stroke (which doesn't bode super well for JJ, on the other hand).
As for Bridges, he shot .400 through 3 college seasons (428 attempts, on 3.7 a game) and shot almost 87FT%. He took just over 3 attempts a game through 5 games and averaged at 1.4 makes (.432). He's going to be an excellent shooter in the NBA, even if he never develops a self creation game. For his rookie season, I'm anticipating around .380 for his rookie season around 4 attempts a game. If he's stroking it early on in the season, he'll be taking Daniels' minutes and his shot attempts as well. And then if he throws in some of that defense that has been talked about, he's going to take those minutes from Daniels. Daniels was attempting a similar 6 attempts from the 3 last season and if Bridges can take his minutes, he'll be taking those 4 attempts a game on near .400 on 4-5 attempts a game is not an elite shooter yet but that's in that's in that tier below the elites.
I do love the interview he did with Vice Sports talking about how he wants to be more than 'just' a 3&D guy but doing it by firstly doing the things which will earn him minutes which is 3&D and then slowly round out his game.
