re: Mikal Bridges developing into a true #1 option

You think maybe it's really difficult for him and anyone else to get to the rim when JV and Zion are on the court and their man sits in the paint when they don't have the ball?

Zion missed an entire year then played 29 games the next year, most of his minutes replaced by Trey in the 2nd year, it didn't change BI's shot profile one iota from the year before or the year after(this year) so that shows that it has nothing to do with Zion at all.

Plus other dudes play with Zion and Val and still get to the rim, despite having a much smaller offensive skillset.

Herb shoots 33% of his shots at the rim.

Dyson 24%

Trey 14%

Naji 22%



From rotation level dudes, the only guys who take less shots 0-3 feet out as a % of their shot profile are Trey(barely), CJ, and Hawkins. That simply should not be the case given BI's skillset and size.
