No. 14 Denver Nuggets- Miles Bridges ( Michigan State, FR, Small Forward)

The Denver Nuggets have a myriad of young players and will likely be adding another one in this year’s lottery. With the possibility of the team moving Kenneth Faried this summer, the Nuggets could be in the market for his replacement at the NBA Draft.

Bridges has explosive athleticism who can get succeed in traffic and plays well around the rim. He has an NBA frame who can play the three and the four. His success in the NBA will depend on his ability to develop his shooting and outside offense. He’s worth the risk late in the lottery to add to Denver and their bright future.
