Mikal Bridges got going early early and seemed to make eveything for Team USA in their win over Italy in the FIBA quarterfinals. Bridges finished with 24 points on 94% true shooting, outscoring the rest of the starters combined.
The Locked on Nets guys discuss the win and Bridges play specifically. It was just another in the many examples for the 27-year-old in what the Brooklyn Nets got in the Kevin Durant trade.
They also talk about players whose stock has gone up and down in this international play.

Austin's PR team in Asia are phenomenal 😂
Let's hope Mikal and Cam get some good early form that carries over to those first 10 games, just a good "leg up" on those that haven't played Fiba.
Lol 😂
CJ better not play like this in Brooklyn, he doesn't look concentrated while playin' in FIBA games.
Mikal Bridges loves to play competitive basketball and has been a force on the defensive side and today showed the versatile offense he's discovered and enjoys bringing out on the court 🔥🔥🔥….
Mikal Bridges is leading by example and is ready to help build up Brooklyn championship culture the right way…..
Also Spencer Dinwiddie's comments today on Brooklyn potentially playing a role as a third team in any Damian Lillard or James Harden trade is very interesting considering there has been a holding pattern of sorts in the NBA trade center considering multiple teams are waiting to see where either plays ends up at….
Brooklyn though has a higher chance in any Damian Lillard trade considering they have the draft capital Miami needs and Tyler Herro fits Brooklyn new core and timeline very well and could definitely help increase their offensive output more…..
Regardless Brooklyn has a new core that's ready to play competitive basketball…..
Wait a moment fellas haha JJJ and Ingram should be of little concern to their teams because when when healthy they have shown to be top level consistent players throughout an NBA season. Now Cam Johnson? He is a concern because just a big contract based on a regular season with the Nets that was up and down a one good series against the Sixers. There are questions about his consistency offensively and the Nets are going to need him to be present and impactful throughout the season.
