Miles Bridges is engineered for NBA. In fact, he already has the athleticism and toughness to survive. The ferocious dunks is definitely intimidating, no defender would want to be on the receiving end of one. Bridge’s athleticism was his main calling card coming out of Huntington Prep, but his three point shot has been very impressive so far.
Attempting nearly five threes a game, he still manages to shot above 40 percent. This shows promise as a knockdown three point shooter. Per 100 possessions, Bridges is scoring just over 30 points game, he is a pure scorer. The Michigan native should definitely receive attention from teams in the lottery.
Grabbing 8.1 rebounds a game is also very impressive. Bridges can battle down low with the bigger players. His 230 lb build definitely helps him in that aspect of his game. Furthermore, Bridges also projects in the NBA draft as a good defender because of his size and athleticism. With the correct teaching and coaching, Bridges could be a beast in a couple of years.
There are plenty of talented prospects in the 2017 NBA Draft. Right now, it looks like the 76ers will have multiple options in round one.
