Mikal Bridges or OG Anunoby

[AbC?]

Mikal is a beast, got no problem with people choosing him.

I do think the efficiency numbers would be closer if OG played in the Suns system. Mikal has a well-defined role and isn't tasked with more than he's capable of whereas OG is given a lot of ISOs and post-up opportunities (with inefficient percentages) that he wouldn't get on a team with championship aspirations.

I like OG more but he thinks he is a star player. lol Also he is far more injury prone than Mikal.

Very comparable players but you have to give the slight edge Bridges for being healthy and more efficient. OG does seem like to have the bigger upside but seems doubtful that he'll ever reach that.

[DarkXaero]

Mikal is better.

[SpreeS]

I believe that both are elite role players that would be great fits and welcomed additions to any team in the league. What I am asking is which player would you chose to be magically placed onto your favorite team? This does not factor in contracts at all.

Mikal Bridges 26 years of age 6 foot 6 and 209lbs

or

OG Anunoby 25 years of age 6 foot 7 239lbs

19ppg/6rpg/2ast/1blk/2stl on 48/34/83

Add Ingram and Wiggs to this discussion and this discussion could last long until season ends

obviously the one with rings vs the one with no rings

[DS17]

Imagine the 6ers with bridges ..

Is it just for one season, or for the future? I mean Anunoby can opt out after 23/24 and will probably get paid quite a lot, if he can keep up this level of play and stay healthier than usual.

Mikal Bridges is more efficient on offense, and better at chasing guards off the ball. He probably guards the 1 and the 2 better than Anunoby. He's a lot more mistake-free than OG offensively and straight up a better passer (less turnovers and more assists). He's a better catch & shoot player. He's too skinny to guard big wings and forwards.

OG is a much stronger player. He gives you better on-ball scoring with his ability to shoot off the dribble from 3, and post up mismatches. This year he's been a much improved passer out of post-ups, though he's still a poor playmaker overall. Defensively, he's much better than Bridges at guarding the 3-4-5, and he's way more disruptive off-ball than Bridges is. OG is also a year longer.

They're very similar. I think OG gives you more oomph on offense, but he just doesn't approach Bridges as a mistake-free offensive player. Defensively, OG is simply the bigger version. There's a couple things that Bridges does a little better than OG (off ball screen navigation and point guard defense), but OG this year is just monstrous at every aspect of wing defense.

Basically I think Mikal is the better glue guy wing, but OG is kind of more... powerful overall, but makes way more mistakes and plays outside of himself more.

I'm taking OG because he guards the bigger wings that cause trouble in the playoffs better than Mikal. Mikal has always been a more efficient player on offense, but while Mikal has been surrounded by good offensive pieces dating back to college, Toronto routinely asks OG to do more on offense than he really should be.

Mikal can't guard 3's in playoffs. That's a big gap in his skill set. So I went with OG.

Can he guard them in the regular season

Yes, Mikal's lack of weight is a factor, he simply can't handle heavier guys and that does make a difference in his defensive effectiveness against 3/4 matchups. Luka destroyed him because he was too little.

Wiggins would make some sense to a degree, but Ingram is a different style of player.

If all things were equal in terms of contract which guy would you want on your team this year and going forward.
