Nets Still Plan To Build Around Mikal BridgesNets Still Plan To Build Around Mikal Bridges
Mikal Bridges averaged 26.1 points per game with the Brooklyn Nets last season following his trade from the Phoenix Suns. Over the first 34 games of his first full season with the Nets, Bridges’ scoring has dropped to 20.9 while his True Shooting Percentage also fell from .607 to .568.
