SG/SF. Villanova. Mikal Bridges. 9. player. 156.

If LeBron James stays in Cleveland, Bridges would have the opportunity to be a legitimate contributor on a contending team. His defensive prowess would help the Cavs in an area of need, while his off-ball scoring in the perfect compliment next to James.

Bridges has always been known as a quality 3-and-D prospect, but his growth this season locked him into the top-10 conversation. He emerged as a go-to weapon for the eventual national champions, hitting shots off movement and doing some work off the dribble, which was rare early in his collegiate career.

Good wings are a key part of competing in today’s NBA. Bridges, at the very least, is a solid complimentary piece who can space the floor and defend at a high level.
