Did some research on Miles Bridges and I don't like his lack of BBIQ, to say nothing of the off court issues I admittedly paid little attention to when the story broke. Bridges is a supreme athlete and physical presence, but I made a reference to a poor man's Jimmy Butler earlier, and that seems off. He should be able to defend, but apparently he doesn't.
It turns out I was right about PJ though. By accounts, he's a 10/10 kid who does all of the little things. The coach commented that the team functions better when he's out there. He's a high-level role player. Probably closer to what we hoped GWill would be, than a true third option to run the offense through. He's versatile on defense, but he's not a stopper. Good kid. GWill upgrade. Better positional fit than Green but I don't like sending a 1st unless the Mavs think PJ would be a different player alongside Ky and Luka.
