9. Mikal Bridges – Villanova

Mikal Bridges is one of my biggest risers since November. From No. 15, he’s cemented himself as a lottery pick and possibly even in the top-10. I broke down why Bridges should get looks from NBA teams selecting in the top-10 last month.

He’s hands down the best two-way wing in this draft, thriving with most elite defense and shooting. At 6’7″ with a massive wingspan, he’s punishing on defense and opponents can’t really contest his jumper. After showing flashes of a dribble-drive game this year, he should absolutely kill in the NBA playing a smaller, more defined role.
