NBA Future Watch: Jalen Bridges Basketball Cards, Phoenix Suns

NBA Future Watch: Jalen Bridges Basketball Cards, Phoenix Suns – Jalen Bridges is a promising 3-and-D prospect on a two-way contract with Phoenix, a team poised to give him every opportunity to contribute. Bridges has shown a dogged determination to improve. In so doing, he has transcended the limitations that personnel professionals might otherwise assign to him. Possessing a highlight reel that provides a tantalizing glimpse of his potential, Bridges is a case study in how continued forward momentum can help to develop a coveted NBA skill set.

Bridges had an outstanding prep career in West Virginia. He led his team to four state championship appearances and won two titles. He also took home the Bill Evans Award as top player in the state. In his senior season, Bridges tallied 21.6 PPG, 6.7 RPG and 2.2 BPG, earning consensus four-star recruit status.

In four NCAA seasons, first at West Virginia, then at Baylor, Bridges established a knack for consistently scoring in double digits and putting up double-doubles in key moments. He landed with Phoenix after the 2024 NBA Draft. Then Bridges had the kind of productive season for the G League Valley Suns that he and the organization wanted. With 14.3 PPG, 5.8 RPG, 1.3 SPG, .794 FT% and .382 3%, Bridges demonstrated the requisite progress in his game.

Tightening up his handle and developing as a secondary playmaker are remaining areas of development for Bridges. Fulfilling these necessities will mark Bridges as a valued commodity and a testament to hard work in tapping available upside.

Bridges cards have been on the market since 2022. Parallels and inserts are in wide supply. Cards can be found under the imprints of Totally Certified, Court Kings, Hoops, Donruss, Bowman’s Best University, Bowman Chrome University, and Panini (Origins, Prizm and Prizm Draft Picks). Some of the best currently on eBay are the 2024-25 Panini Origins Auto Turquoise and 2024 Panini Prizm Draft Black Gold.
