The first time Miles Bridges appeared on this website was in July of 2015 during the Nike Global Challenge in Chicago. At the time, Bridges was a rising high school senior out of Flint, MI who had blossomed into a five-star recruit on the grassroots circuit earlier in the summer. He was choosing between playing with De’Aaron Fox and Malik Monk (who were also at the event) at Kentucky, or Cassius Winston and two other top-50 recruits (Nick Ward and Josh Langford) at Michigan State.
Even back then, no one was quite sure what Bridges’ role would be.
