2018 NBA Draft Big Board 6.0
Bridges, like Williams, made the questionable decision to return to school for a second season. He didn’t have the strongest start to the year, but locked himself into the lottery conversation after a strong finish.
At this point, it’s tough to envision Bridges not playing the four. He’s a bit undersized at 6-6, but can offset that to some extent with his freakish athleticism and strong frame. His defensive versatility is something teams will covet.
Offensively, Bridges made major strides as a passer late in the year. His spot-up shooting and off-ball cutting, however, will be his best skills until he adds a more reliable off-the-dribble game.
