The Brooklyn Nets plan to make shooting guard Mikal Bridges the centerpiece of their team.

“Mikal Bridges is a player that they’re going to build around,” NBA Insider Adrian Wojnarowski said. “The kind of offers the Nets have gotten for him speaks to how valuable he is, a player I think for Brooklyn, they keep in place when the next big star is available in a trade.”

In 27 games with the Nets, Bridges averaged 26.1 points on 48% shooting from the field.
