Miles Bridges. 9. player. 27. Mikal Bridges is a popular pick here for the New York Knicks, but Miles Bridges offers a more complete game. He won’t be as good of a player defensively, but Mikal was never going to be a lockdown defender. Miles should do well with quick feet. Offensively, he’s got a much higher ceiling than Mikal. Miles has a decent handle, shot well over two years from 3 and is an absurdly athletic player. Top-notch athleticism matters a lot in the NBA. Miles can fit well next to Kristaps Porzingis, especially if New York ever wants to go small. The Knicks need more offensive firepower next to Porzingis and Miles can give them that with the potential as a pull-up threat.. SF/PF. Michigan State
