Jonathan Wasserman of Bleacher Report has released his latest 2018 NBA mock draft and he has the New York Knicks using the 12th overall pick on Michigan State sophomore forward Miles Bridges.
Bridges is in a tough spot playing out of position alongside two other bigs at Michigan State. He hasn’t shown off anything new, but that elite explosiveness remains attractive when paired with his shot-making and scoring improvisation in the lane. Limited as a shot-creator, Bridges’ key swing skill in the pros will be his three-point shooting.
The 19 year-old Bridges will be turning 20 years-old in March and can play either small forward or shooting guard as he stands at 6-feet-7.
