[@idkman7879]

Could be in much better shape if we didn't make that move this zhaire kid better end up being pretty good.

He gon be good for sure so much potential to be a star fr

[@nba2gay387]

Bout time

[@Dej808]

Love watching this dude play he's like a smaller more athletic Kevin Durant. Every player that comes out of NOVA has high work rate, are very disciplined and typically well rounded, some of the best coaches forsure.

[@juju191]

everybody sleeping on mikal bridges bruh. he going to be some special

WELCOME TO PHOENIX

[@JJpmfc]

Suns!

[@hakimjefferson3218]

Welcome home my wayward son! He's waaay better than ROCO w the same upside. Great pick Brett!

[@TyroneBiggums789]

Mikal , Lonnie walker and Kevin Knox are all mid late lottery guys that have a chance to be real steals and I honestly feel better taking than a jaren Jackson or trae young.

[@colinmontgomery7382]

Bad take😭

[@syn8852]

man you were really wrong on this one man. kevin and lonnie are bottom of the bench players now. only one that held up was mikal

And he is in finals now

He's gonna be quite a good player

[@DanTheMagnificent21]

Welcome to Phoenix 🤘

[@buckeye9983]

76ers better pick if available

[@38baby17]

buckeye998197 y agree but I read a report where the 76ers are considering taking Zhaire Smith with the number 10 pick it like Zhaire Smith but I don't think he should be going that high.

[@pg13pacernation30]

If Sixers can stick with the No. 10 pick and select Villanova swingman Mikal Bridges - if he’s still available - so they can have a reliable body off the bench who can make shots and defend.

[@conveydcuo9001]

We better not take Zhaire i like him but hes a upside pick Mikal can help us now

[@pkamvp]

buckeye998197 y if we don’t take him and he’s there I’ll be questioning Brett brown and his decision making. And if we move up to take Trae I’m gonna be sick

[@Ty-km2er]

No Knox better

[@513godswoosh]

He going to straight up ball

[@KD_SWAGGER]

ESPN should have done these Draft Express scouting videos a lot earlier and for every prospect!

[@dangelorussell9456]

Like if he gonna be a steal

[@mikelonzo9824]

D'angelo Russell thats Liangelo Ball... literally

[@ohhbluuee3543]

Called it, we stole him from Philly 😂😂 I speak for the city of Phoenix when I say we appreciate you dearly 6ers

[@devcame2kill107]

Please replace the Wesley Johnson comparison with Trevor Ariza

[@HughieFoley0105]

Finally!

[@aespa690]

I swear every time I watch these videos during the positives Im thinking "Wow how is this guy not #1?!?" then when they show the negatives its "lol what a bust"

[@damiencruz4268]

The Perfect Red Velvet/Bad Boy same lmao

[@dumamayconcaaaaaac]

Hahahaha omg so true

[@gmo709]

The Perfect Red Velvet/Bad Boy Positives far outweigh negatives. Good kid and is a winner.

Ahhh times have change

Welcome to the suns young bull

I think he should get picked in the top 6...you just want and need a guy like him in your team.

[@bucketgetters2891]

TRUST THE PROCESS

[@lolunderstated533]

Ayton, Booker, Jackson, Bridges, Chriss we gonna dominate the west when Golden State is done in a few years.

[@surei-tamalik9569]

He's the best player in the draft.....\V/

[@mj45isgreat]

You know jimmy butler wasn’t looked at to have a high offensive ceiling, I think he can become something like that if he keeps working

[@dangelorussell9456]

Next Kawhi

[@jamesedwards1284]

D'angelo Russell next justin jackson

[@dangelorussell9456]

damn that was cold lmaoo

[@GFS695]

Lol

[@villainambitions]

According to ESPN analytics he is the 2nd most likely Allstar in the draft. www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/23771351/espn-draft-analytics-model-makes-nba-draft-projections

[@eliott970]

I would say more Klay Thompson

[@kotakidd2653]

I love Mikal in PHX! But Suns need a coach who can use him good! Get the best outta each player!

[@AutoArtemAuto]

Wish granted. Monty has done a great job with them.

I see a lot Paul George in him can shoot and isn’t scared to guard ball handlers and can boom on you if you sleep on his length

[@darthseraphim369]

"Not a playmaker for others" now I see why BRETT traded him

Dude has a little andre iguodala to him with that reach and d

[@j_quan2594]

76ers will regret trading him🤦‍♂️

[@AutoArtemAuto]

You called it.

[@selltheteam4448]

Yup

[@knoda2603]

Do Miles Bridges

[@harryo82]

I'm going to try to will this into existence. Orlando please take Mikal Bridges at #6.

[@ShadowX2406]

I remember trying to will the Magic to trade their 2019 mid-level pick for Bridges. Didn't panned out there.

[@theland2164]

he's going to be the Jayson Tatum of this draft class

[@_Xds_]

Absolute robbery of a pick for suns

Why does the thumbnail look like Mikal Bridges doesn't feel so good lol

Future All-Star

QY A nope

[@crazyluigi6664]

More like Future All-Defensive First Team at this rate.

[@SoulGaleo1992]

Philly, you know what to do.

[@crazyluigi6664]

Trade him, got it! :P

[@davidokutinyang946]

Should have done this on Miles not him!

[@cojo65691]

SUNS

[@natepechar7140]

Rather have this guy then knox as a knicks fan... only thing knox got on him is he's younger

[@njarellano4305]

Why phil trade him to suns

[@strangerthanparadise]

Would see how Simmons Fultz Bridges Saric Embiid play together

[@gmo709]

Jason Tan Where RoCo gonna go?..the bench?

[@DumbIdeaPresentedStupidly]

G. Moore he wont miss threes if he is on the bench

[@subramaniankasi9914]

Cavs should draft him

[@collinmensah8047]

I think a accurate comparison is ex nba player dorell wright

[@aespa690]

This guy will be great on an already good team and useless on a bad one

[@fathervsson1on1tv22]

The Perfect Red Velvet/Bad Boy hey red subscribe to my channel and ill do the same type done

[@crazyluigi6664]

Maybe he would have been great for Philly, but he's been doing well for Phoenix already.

[@OmarLeeMario]

Best case scenario: Kawhi Leonard Worse case scenario: Wesley Johnson

[@amazingarachnidman]

Luckily the knicks have 3 draft picks pick 9a,9b and 9c. 9a will be knox then mikal then sexton.

[@Militantreturns]

Adam Jr stay off the drugs

[@mcken7764]

I was waiting for this video for long time. Philly don't worry Knicks will grab him.

[@robertodonnell8347]

MC KEN huh?

[@hellhoundswrdandshld2844]

He needs to get the line more automatically.

[@adrenalineunlimited]

If he can get quicker he can be great, idk that he can though

[@onlyonpaper]

I hope the clippers take him at 13

[@axelcross5717]

ThePhoenixSuns Booker. Bridges Jackson Chriss/Warren Bender/Len Has To Be The Youngest Team N The NBA with Salary Cap To Get Khawi or DeRozan or Even Capela..

[@BonGetsFit_]

Knicks please don’t let this guy slip..

[@jrsmithfanpage7558]

No I don’t want him. He doesn’t have much ceiling. He won’t be a bust, but he’s not going to be a star. Trae young, bamba, or MPJ

[@eczotiic8026]

AlwaysAKnickerbocker It ain't about what YOU want

[@jrsmithfanpage7558]

Dee ok that’s the dumbest comment I’ve seen. Of course it isn’t about what I want dumb shit. I’m just saying Mikal Bridges doesn’t have much potential which is not what the Knicks need

[@conveydcuo9001]

AlwaysAKnickerbocker knicks should be making a pick off upside here

[@MetalRob81]

AlwaysAKnickerbocker hes possibly the best 2 way player in the draft. His ceiling is ridiculous

[@aidancordani9628]

Knicks. Please 🙏

[@zechwilson5934]

“It’s about damn time” Lebron voice

[@wweecwwcwtna1928]

He can be kawhi and klay mixed together.

[@duncanboyd91]

If I’m the spurs I trade Leonard for some assets and a top 5 pick and draft him

[@AuburnFanSince2010]

The Next Kawhi Leonard.

[@bw6667]

Good joke (or good drugs)

[@legodisthebesteversomelege4778]

LeBron × Kawhi × Krover 🔥🔥Cavs new team

[@Militantreturns]

Legod is the best ever Some Legends gots no rings you must be 20

[@amc1140]

Suns gave up too much for him... that Miami pick could be top5

[@crazyluigi6664]

So much for a Top 5 Miami pick now.

[@amc1140]

@Mustafa Mohamud lol this trade looks really good for the Suns now

[@pg13pacernation30]

If Sixers can stick with the No. 10 pick and select Villanova swingman Mikal Bridges - if he’s still available - so they can have a reliable body off the bench who can make shots and defend.

[@Buk718]

I see tayshaun prince in him...

[@joshpaulson9588]

Come back to this comment when he becomes an All-Star with the Sixers

[@richarddeleon9717]

Lmao next Wesley Johnson

[@80sruler]

I’m nervous about those 2 comparisons because Johnson and Covington suck

[@MrPiemaniac123]

Klay Thompson 2.0?

[@crazyluigi6664]

Honestly, he's more like Raja Bell 2.0 for us in Phoenix. Which honestly isn't a bad thing for us, considering he was a fantastic defender for Phoenix back in that time.

[@MrPiemaniac123]

Crazy Luigi yeah I wanted Philly to keep him and instead they traded for zhaire smith who doesn’t even play 💀

[@crazyluigi6664]

@Mustafa Mohamud How?

[@GanDtech]

Next Jimmy Butler

[@soloyoung3915]

Gandek yep just with longer arms

[@conveydcuo9001]

Khris Middleton is a much better comparison

[@soloyoung3915]

Convey Dcuo u actually right he don't have nun like kawhi every time a player with defense come he the next kawhi lol he gone be just a more aggressive Klay or Igudala

[@britishuk_yrg577]

Knicks don’t fuck up

[@elchapo5797]

Kerry Kittles 2.0

[@Militantreturns]

Kenny P nah kerry kittles was nice

[@jakeborrelli2200]

KNICKS

[@joyboy1720]

reminds me Iggy, with a better shot ofc

[@gregking8682]

Raptors should trade for a top 10 pick to hopefully land mikal bridges

[@TheHavaianas24]

I heard Raptors interested in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Lmaooo. They have a bunch of guards now they want another one cause he's canadian? Haha

[@mikelonzo9824]

Give the Sixers Derozen then it's a deal

[@derekaasare]

he definitely has Robert Covington written all over him

[@OryxDropShotz]

i see paul george

[@kelsstizzle2]

If he was light skin he would be compared to Klay Thompson

[@AngeloLaker]

Reggie Miller???

[@zechwilson5934]

Klay Thompson

[@legodisthebesteversomelege4778]

LeBron is the best player in the world.

[@buckeye9983]

Legod is the best ever Some Legends gots no rings yup top 2 of all time

[@mohamedaden9447]

Legod is the best ever Some Legends gots no rings the dumbest comments I've ever seen in my life

[@clutchmaster0039]

Legod is the best ever Some Legends gots no rings not if kd has something to say about it💍💍

[@halginute3141]

clutchmaster 21 game 4-6 of the WCF?

[@jacktheman1989]

Sounds like a less athletic version of Wesley Johnson

[@lwolfgamingl760]

3rd like!

[@bradwilson4052]

Robert horry 2018

[@User-qv9ct]

Is this another "the next Kawhi Leonard"? There's been like 50 of those already. Seems like he'll be average and his ceiling will be Jrue Holiday.

[@jakefaz162]

low bust potential though. looks like a pretty safe bet

[@Militantreturns]

In other words. He"s. Average

[@anthonylebario4460]

Suns!

HA my dude! go phoenix!
