What About Miles Bridges?

Similar to Calipari in Kentucky, Michigan State Head Coach Tom Izzo runs a tight ship. One player that Bridges favors is Draymond Green. (Minus kicking people in the Jewels).

Bridges doesn’t possess the same three-point capabilities as Alexander. However, the 6-7 guard averaged 17.1 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 2.7 assists. The Michigan native is physical and can bang bodies down low to grab a few boards here and there.

This could be a solid fit in Atlanta if you are looking for the athletic wing who can draw two and dish it out. Bridges does an excellent job of running the floor on the break. Another strength is his ability to move without the basketball.

Critics may question how this will work if ATL selects Doncic. Doncic could possibly play point guard wherever he is drafted. Both players seem to be able to make the extra pass.

In order to improve Bridges needs to work on his three-point shot, ability to create his own offense and curtail his turnover tendencies.
