Offense

Miles Bridges is a capable scorer, dropping 17.0 points per game in his two years at Michigan State. He did so while shooting 53.7% from two point range and 37.5% from deep. He’s also a capable athlete, which you can see in the highlight video below.

NBADraft.net notes that Bridges is a capable passer and his 2.5 assists per game in college seem to back that. His dribbling needs work, so he’s not quite a shot creator just yet. He looks to be best served as a spot up shooter.

Defense

Bridges biggest benefit is his ability to switch from positions 2 through 4. His size and athleticism allow him to be effective on all three positions without getting put into too many mismatches. He averaged 0.6 steals per game and 1.1 blocks in college.

His size and athleticism is also advantageous on the glass, as he is a very capable rebounder, grabbing 7.6 per game. Having a wing who is not only capable, but willing to rebound is good for any team.
