Mikal Bridges will be a good player in the NBA, but in my opinion, he doesn’t have the unlimited potential that many that come after him do. However, he is a developed player that can make an immediate impact.

Bridges, throughout his three seasons at Villanova, developed one of the most lethal jump shots in the NCAA. Raining in 2.6 triples per game on 43.5% from deep, Bridges was easily the NCAA’s best two-way wing.

With over a block and steal per game along with shooting over 50% from the field, Bridges’ three seasons at Nova were a testimony to how well staying in college a few extra seasons can turn out.

Bridges is a safe, smart pick and should be able to help return the glory days to the Big Apple.
