Case Study: Mikal Bridges is one of the best defenders in the NBA

I was curious to see what could Phoenix Suns forward Mikal Bridges raw and advanced defensive statistics look like compared to his peers aftger four games in the Bubble. And boy is it pretty!

Below is a chart with Mikal’s numbers, rankings and percentiles in main defensive categories among players who:

  • Have played at least 3 games in the bubble
  • Have played at least 20MPG
  • Play one or several spots at the 2-3-4 but are not bigger guys (PF/C), focus on wings, point forwards & big forwards.
