Bridges is a high-character guy who epitomizes the 3-and-D wing archetype. He needs to strengthen his frame, but he projects as arguably the best perimeter defender in the draft long term.
Standing 6-foot-7 with a 7-foot-2 wingspan, Bridges’ length allows him to play the passing lanes and disrupt opposing ball handlers. He can feasibly guard one through three at a high level, fitting the switch-friendly nature of the modern game.
On the offensive end, Bridges is limited. He’s an elite shooter with a near-flawless release, but he lacks the ball handling needed to create off the dribble. With that said, he’s a decent passer who can attack closeouts and finish in the lane. There’s room for him to improve his handles long term.
