Jalen Bridges brings Baylor a polished 3-and-D wing with veteran poise
In the 2023-24 season, Jalen Bridges was a steady Baylor forward who averaged 12.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, and shot 41.2% from three, giving the Bears a reliable floor-spacer with size, rebounding, and versatility. He started all 69 games across two seasons at Baylor, earned 2024 All-Big 12 Third Team honors, and showed he can swing games with big-shot confidence, including a 32-point eruption against Texas in March 2024. Why care? He’s the kind of mature, low-maintenance, high-IQ wing who fits cleanly next to stars and helps a team without needing the ball.
