Bridges epitomizes everything teams want on the wing nowadays. He’s the ultimate 3-and-D guy, maximizing his long frame on the defensive end and thriving off the ball offensively. His growth this season, though, is what should lock him into the top 10.

With Josh Hart and Ryan Arcidiacono in the NBA, Bridges was forced to take on a bigger role next to National Player of the Year Jalen Brunson. That resulted in him doing more off the dribble, an area he rarely explored earlier in his collegiate career.

Bridges in the only true wing worth listing in the top 10, so expect teams like Chicago, New York and Philadelphia to put serious consideration into drafting him, even if he lacks the ultra-high upside that some of his counterparts boast.
