  • Absolutely. People were going for Suns FO throats for trading Bridges and Cam motherfucking Johnson for Durant.

    Bridges is a talented player and has more offensive potential than was allowed to show in PHX. Obviously, he’s a defensive ace and ironman. Not to mention, great locker room presence and fan favorite. He’s not a hard sell.

    But I’d be shocked if he’s ever a top-20 player. There’s a real ceiling to his offensive game that will likely be hit this season, imo.

    Ringer had him 33, which is a tad high. I’d certainly put Randle and Bane above Bridges, for example.

    So, combination of some highly-underrated guys and post-megatrade hypetrain brought him to a degree of “overrated.”
