NBA Draft 2017: Top 10 Best College Basketball Players for March Madness

No. 8 G Miles Bridges (Michigan State)


School: Michigan State


Position: Guard


Size: 6'7"/230 pounds


Class: Freshman


Why Watch: Bridges does not get as much publicity as some of the other prospects but is firmly in the NBA Lottery discussion. He has flashed his potential throughout the season notching nine games with 20 or more points. Bridges is one of the more well-rounded players in the draft. He averaged over eight rebounds a game during the regular season including eight games with double-digit boards. While not deadly from long-range, Bridges is a solid shooter at 48 percent from the floor and just over 38 percent from the three-point line. It will be difficult for Bridges to add to his resume given the Spartans are a nine seed and would need some magic (i.e. upsetting Kansas) to make an extended run. (Getty)
