There are few players who strike a chord with the fanbase like former Phoenix Suns forwards Mikal Bridges and Cameron Johnson. “The Twins” were both players that the organization drafted, and as a part of a young core, shocked the world with an appearance in the 2021 NBA Finals.
Both were sent to the Brooklyn Nets in early 2023 in a deal that brought Kevin Durant to the Valley, and many will look to the transaction as a vital turning point for the Suns. It was a moment when James Jones, with Mat Ishbia owning the team for less than a week, chose experience and resume over effort and upside.
