“Bridget is somebody that I commented on early in the season. I think that her stock has certainly gone up. I think that’s a player that’s really played her way into not only being drafted but positioned herself probably at least in the second round. I think there might be a few that she’s on the board in their later first-round picks. She certainly can shoot the darned thing, but I think what she’s really shown is she’s creative in the way that she can score. She can score around the basket. I think the question mark would certainly be a level of athleticism. This is a great league. These are some of the best athletes in the world in this sport. That will be her challenge, but again, that’s another player I had a chance to see for the Canadian national team. So to see her be successful, I will say that she’s been successful at the 4 spot as opposed to the position that I think she’ll probably play in our league, which is a small forward, and sometimes that’s a difficult transition for players to make, but I think this is a player that’s pretty skilled.”
