14. Miles Bridges, SF/PF, Michigan State
Bridges hasn’t improved enough in his second season to deserve a higher spot. He’s still an athletic freak at 6-6 and there has definitely been some growth offensively, but he has too many holes to ignore.
Perhaps the biggest concern with Bridges is where he fits into the picture in an NBA offense. He has shown he can hit spot-up jumpers reliably and his passing has improved, but he’s still a limited ball handler who can’t create his own offense efficiently.
On defense, Bridges has plenty of potential. His athleticism and strength alone should allow him to guard three or four positions. Some of his decison-making is questionable, though, so that’s something NBA coaches will have to work through. He’s still a lottery pick for now.
