9. Chicago Bulls – Mikal Bridges, F, Villanova

The Chicago Bulls could use any and all the talent that they can get their hands on in this draft. Snagging Mikal Bridges at No. 9 could end up being the biggest steal in this NBA Mock Draft.

Bridges is 6-foot-7 with a 7-foot wingspan. He can score and rebound well for his position. He’s also improved his 3-point shot tremendously over the three years that he’s been at Villanova. He will finish his collegiate career shooting the deep ball at a 44 percent clip, hitting on nearly three made 3’s per game.

In the ever-changing NBA, that’s almost a must. Now that Bridges has that skill under his belt, he should be a day 1 contributor at the next level.
