I think Bridges is the key to this team this season.
We have the big man in Ochefu.
We have great small guards in Arch, Booth and Brunson.
However, what Bridges can bring to the table is something different than the rest of the team. We don't have that length or pure athleticism anywhere at the wing. Bridges has a lot of development to do, but if we can get him to play starter-caliber basketball by March, I think he's the key to how far our ceiling can go (assuming DO is healthy).
He's 2nd on the team in block percentage and 3rd in offensive rebound percentage (Donte is 2nd, but that will fall).
If he can shoot 33% from deep, and use his length to make plays on defense and on the glass, there's no telling how much better this team can get.
