With other 2018 notable draftees Deandre Ayton ( who went no.1 overall), Marvin Bailey III, and Zaire Smith all signing with Puma, it looked like Nike was either not attracting or letting the top talent slip through their fingers. Signing Bridges could be a step toward reversing that perceived trend.
