The Phoenix Suns should not overlook De’Andre Hunter in the draft

Mikal Bridges has been excellent on the Phoenix Suns since being acquired in a draft day trade. His impact on both ends of the court is impressive and unmatched by any other Sun. He’s the only player with a positive on/off court impact on both offense and defense for Phoenix. Neither Devin Booker, the franchise player nor Deandre Ayton, the prized rookie, can claim that.

The Suns score 1.2 more points and give up 3.9 less points when Bridges is on the court compared to when he’s off. That kind of positive impact on both ends can’t be said about anyone else that’s suited up for Phoenix this season (other than Emanuel Terry, who played 19 more minutes than I have for the organization and is no longer on the team).
