Perhaps the only thing longer than Mikal Bridges' 7-foot-1 wingspan is the amount of ground he covers in an NBA game.
According to the league's advanced stats, Bridges averages 1.30 miles traveled per contest on defense. He does so while ranking first in the NBA in minutes per game, guarding players ranging from an elusive Stephen Curry to a bulldozer like LeBron James.
The crazy thing, as his Suns teammates and coaches allude to, is that Bridges does not appear to get tired while doing so. It's why they feel he should be a lock for the league's Defensive Player of the Year Award, for which he is perceived leaguewide to be a leading contender.
