Miles Bridges. 13. player. Scouting Report. F. Michigan State. 77. Pick Analysis

Height: 6’7″, Weight: 225, Age: 20
Statistics: 17.1 PPG, 7.0 RPG, 36.4% 3FG

The Los Angeles Clippers need new faces around Cali, and Miles Bridges is a good first step. Deandre Jordan is most likely out of LA this summer and now they’ll need a new face of the franchise.

Luckily, they can take a chance on a guy like Miles Bridges being a stud right away in the league – a lot like Aaron Gordon or Jabari Parker. Bridges proved a lot of scouts wrong at Michigan State who said that he couldn’t produce on a consistent level, and not only did he impress in that perspective, but he gained a 3-point shot.

Bridges will get to go to LA and learn from hustlers and gamers like Patrick Bevelry, Austin Rivers, and Tobias Harris. And no matter what you think of those guys, one thing is for certain, they can groom competitors.

Bridges and his 7’0″ wingspan will surprise a lot of LA fans that miss Blake Griffin, you may get something close here.

Luckily, the Clippers have two picks in a row, who’s next?

12. 77. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. G. Alabama. Collin Sexton. player

Height: 6’1”, Weight: 185, Age: 19
Statistics: 19.2 PPG, 3.6 APG

Sexton is a conglomerate of current point guards in the league, and is a great mix of all of them. What’s holding Sexton back is possibly the lack of winning Alabama had going into March Madness, which isn’t a lot to say about his character or potential of being an All-Star in this league.

Sexton averaged good all-around numbers and could be seen picking his teammates up throughout the entirety of last season. Which is a big help for the Los Angeles Clippers who just need a leader at this point, hopefully Doc Rivers can groom another Rajon Rondo here.

Regardless, Bridges and Sexton would be an amazing duo to start a new team with for the Clippers.

This guy acts like the better version of Patrick Beverley, I guess he can find out for sure in Los Angeles.
