There really are no surprises when it comes to projecting what Bridges can do on a basketball court, having filled a similar role in each of the past three years. He played 77 games during the 2025-26 season, averaging 17.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.9 three-pointers in 31.0 minutes per contest. Although his scoring has remained somewhat consistent, his defensive contributions have basically evaporated, limiting his overall appeal. After spending his entire career in Charlotte, Bridges was traded to Phoenix during the offseason, where he will presumably slot in as the starting power forward. He will serve as the third or fourth option on offense, behind Devin Booker, Jalen Green and to a lesser extent, Dillon Brooks. There is no reason to think his numbers will change too much despite the new team, making Bridges a viable target in the ninth or tenth rounds of most drafts.
