1. Jalen Bridges
Of the Suns' three two-way players, Bridges is the most logical option to replace Little since he’s also a wing. The Suns were already shallow at that position before these roster moves, and have become even more so now.
While the rest of the league has been stacking up bigger wings, the Suns only have Kevin Durant and Ryan Dunn who fit that mold. At 6’8 with a 6’10 wingspan, Bridges would join them if his contract is converted.
Bridges may have went undrafted, but he was as impressive as any of the Suns’ rookies in Summer League. In 5 games, he averaged 10.8 points while shooting 40% on 7 attempts per game from deep.
His potential as a 3-and-D player gives him an easy pathway to playing time with this roster. His size will allow him to guard multiple positions, and his ability and willingness to shoot the 3 meshes extraordinarily well with the Suns' stars.
When the Suns managed to land Bridges, it seemed like a guarantee that his contract would be converted at some point. His Summer League performance followed by the release of Little means that could happen much sooner than expected.
