The first one was insane, and then he did it again. Bridges did a great job getting the passes and finishing them, but the passes were literally nuts. The second pass looked to have about a two inch window.

Bridges is really something I have not seen before.

His toolbox pulls from so many different players. You'll see Marion on the leak out, AK47 on the weak side blocks, then a little bit of James Worthy with the cuts.

If the kid puts it all together and gets more consistent/stronger? Whew.

And he is getting that turn around jumper from the ft line. There is a bit of Grant Hill sometimes too. It was a great move to get him in the draft.

He's one of our most important pieces. I wouldn't trade him for Zion, Harden, Lillard or Tatum. Only player I'd trade him for Luka but I want Brunson and Maxi in package as well.

I still see Mikal as having the potential to become a poor man's finesse version of Kawhi in the future.

Yeah, I know some don't like him, but to me, there isn't really anything not to like about the guy...so high IQ, good at just about everything, high character, always seems to be in a good mood, great teammate, never argues with refs, etc.

And I think if he puts it all together he could possibly be our best player...he's kind of a quiet guy that could score a lot if you used him that way...kind of like Kawhi was early in his career.

I think any of our core 3 could end up as the best player on the team. Now obviously most will likely always consider it Book, due to the scoring output, but the other two are growing fast, and in a lot more areas than scoring (though Book is improving on D a little bit and on hustle plays).

I see Pippen without the playmaking and handles.

Can do a lot with a two inch window though :D

Speaking of those two passes by Book, I used to coach a set of twins. They were smaller guards and it was eighth grade, but the two of them knew where the other were on the court at all times. I would see one of them throw a full court pass, and from the sideline think where the heck that pass was ending up, and out of nowhere, the other twin catches the ball and makes the layup. It was the coolest play(s) I have ever watched as a coach.
