Why Mikal Bridges should adjust to Knicks role quickly
NY Post
It won’t take much adjusting for Mikal Bridges to get used to his new role with the Knicks.
It will be similar to the one he had at Villanova, with the Suns and even recently Team USA basketball.
If anything, being a go-to guy with the Nets was more out of the ordinary for the talented two-way wing.
“I think it’s not going to be that hard honestly,” Bridges said this week, as he was introduced as the newest Knick. “I think it’s just knowing the brand we play here, and playing the right way is who I am. It’s like a natural thing. It’s kind of like going to [Team] USA, kind of the same thing where obviously, going to USA last year, the role’s going to change.”
The 6-foot-6 Bridges has excelled as a secondary offensive option from his time at Villanova until now, as someone who can score big when called upon, but wasn’t leaned on to be that guy every night.
On a Knicks team with Jalen Brunson, Julius Randle and OG Anunoby, he won’t be asked to do that.
