With Mikal off the board, the Sixers go for the other Bridges. Miles struggled to live up to expectations this season, but his unique athletic tools should keep him firmly in the lottery discussion.
At 6-6 with a 6-9 wingspan, Bridges’ strength and bounce are virtually unmatched among players his size. His ability to play above the rim and hit spot-up jumpers should fit nicely next to Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons.
His defensive versatility is a nice bonus as well. He has been inconsistent on that end in the past, but he has the potential to add another athletic, switch-friendly body to the Sixers’ elite defensive rotation.
