established that the Brooklyn Nets will be moving forward with Mikal Bridges as their number one guy. He is the present, the future and apparently supposed to be the recruiter. Katz writes that the Nets believe Bridges is the "costar to whichever big name can trade for down the line."
His defensive ability is among the top of the league, and he has improved exponentially as a scorer since arriving in Brooklyn, but has not hit that plateau of "elite" just yet.
