3. Miles Bridges, F

Miles Bridges is an all-around player. The one main concern from him is what position does he play? Bridges stands in at 6′-7″ and 225 pounds. He has the size to play small forward and power forward, but he may get beat by faster small forwards or bigger power forwards.

That’s something teams will have to figure out once he gets into the NBA. I’m sure the sophomore from Michigan State will be able to figure things out. Bridges is a freakish athlete and will get to the rim and either lay it up or slam it home with brute force.

In these highlights you can see that he can live above the rim and get a lot of points that way. He can also shoot the ball. That’s not his best suit, but he can knock it down with ease and it should only get better with time.

He shot the ball at 36.4 percent from three on 5.7 attempts per game. Seeing those numbers proves that he’s not great yet, but he has the potential to become a great shooter over time.

He’s a guy you want shooting the ball with the game on the line, and he can guard multiple positions and fill out the stat sheet.

He averaged 17.1 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.8 blocks and 0.6 steals. Expect him to continue to fill out the stat sheet and play solid defense in the NBA. His athleticism and ability to make shots should prove to make him a solid NBA player.
