8. Chicago Bulls: Miles Bridges, SF/PF, Michigan State

Ahoy, it’s Jaren Jackson’s Michigan State teammate! Miles Bridges is an athletic finisher. He’s great at catching lobs and interpreting missed shots then preparing for put backs. He can find the open man and I can’t stress it enough, but that is uber valuable in today’s league. Also of importance, he can stretch the floor while at the combo forward position. The Bulls traded Jimmy Butler and Justin Patton for Zach Lavine, Kris Dunn, and Lauri Markkanen. If they were to take Bridges, he would be a great fit at the small forward position. I bet Chicago fans are regretting the Nikola Mirotic led 7 game win streak earlier this season. Without that, they could have been amongst the top few picks.
