Phoenix Suns: 3 Players That Disappointed This Season

#2 Mikal Bridges

Mikal Bridges was drafted 10th overall in the 2018 NBA draft.

A 2-time NCAA champion and Julius Erving award-winner (2018), Bridges was unable to shine with the Phoenix Suns despite playing in all 82 games of the season.

Coach Igor Kokoskov entrusted the youngster with almost 30 minutes per game and 56 games in the starting lineup, but he could only average 8.3 points per game. The rest of his averages included 3.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.6 steals per game.

In his junior year in college (2017-18), Bridges averaged 17.7 points and 5.3 rebounds per game on 51 percent shooting, but none of that carried over to his stay in Phoenix. With his 3-and-D style of play, shooting 34% from distance on, Bridges is expected to turn into something of a future Klay Thompson. But that might take some considerable time looking at how things stand currently.
