According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Suns have signed Jalen Bridges to a two-way contract.
Bridges redshirted his freshman season at West Virginia and played two seasons for the Mountaineers before transferring to Baylor. As a senior at Baylor, Bridges earned All-Big 12 honors behind averages of 12.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.6 blocks, and 2.1 triples. He shot respectable 46/82/41 splits and excelled as a defender. He can make an impact at the next level as a 3-and-D option but don’t expect quality fantasy production in Year 1. With Phoenix establishing a new G League franchise, Bridges will not lack for game reps if he does not see significant time with the Suns.
