2018 NBA Draft big board: End of January
By Max Holm
11. Miles Bridges – Michigan State
Miles Bridges hasn’t exactly built on his freshman season. His numbers are very similar across the board. That being said, the half glass full view is that he’s proven he’s a legitimate lottery prospect. Bridges is showing an underrated passing ability this year and continuing to play above the rim. He’s also backed up his shooting from deep. Following a hot stretch as of late, the Michigan State sophomore is well over 37 percent from 3.
While he hasn’t exponentially improved his game, thus why he fell from No. 7 in November, there’s still a lot to like. Playing the role of a mismatch 4 who can switch on defense, similarly to Knox, is someone a lot of NBA teams covet. Bridges has also impressively hit 90 percent of his free throws this year.
