Our good pal Zona got the ball rolling the other day with a very interesting comparison of Mikal Bridges and Shawn Marion, two Phoenix Suns forwards known for their defense and hustle. I commend it to your attention.
While Zona is correct that it’s a bit early to compare those two with any finality, a salient question remains: what should Suns fans really expect from Mikal Bridges in the area of scoring?
Further...should they REALLY want whatever that expectation might be?
Quickly, here is a statistical comp of Bridges age 24-25 seasons to Shawn Marion’s age 24-25 seasons.
