Does he fit with the Clippers?
In short, probably. Miles Bridges is the typical modern NBA player on paper. His ability to shoot the three and switch on defense gives him the mold most teams want. However, with the current roster, things may get a little tricky.
While the forward position isn’t extremely deep for the Clippers, they do have Danilo Gallinari, Tobias Harris, Sam Dekker and Wesley Johnson all on the roster for the next season. With no true power forwards under contract, it’s reasonable that minutes at that spot could be split up by the group. Bridges could get some minutes, especially considering Gallinari’s injury history.

Bridges is a safe pick for the team and at worst, should be a solid rotational piece a la Jae Crowder. He may not be the most exciting pick, but he makes sense for the team.
