13. Miles Bridges, SF/PF, Michigan State

It’s tough for me to move Bridges any higher than this. He’s obviously as insane athlete, but his margin of growth from last season to this season has underwhelmed. Up to this point in the season, he just hasn’t improved much.

Bridges’ 3-point percentage has dropped to 34.9 perecent. That’s higher than it was earlier in the year, but he still hasn’t shown enough consistency for somebody who, as an undersized stretch-four, relies heavily on that aspect of his game.

Aside from Bridges’ shooting, his offense has come in flashes more than anything else. He’s a dangerous cutter and an obvious transition threat, but hasn’t shown much as a passer and struggles to create his own shot at times.
