Mikal Bridges, SF, Villanova
The best prospect on this list, Mikal Bridges is the ultimate 3-and-D prospect. In order to be an effective player at the next level, he is going to have to be a consistent outside shooter.
He took a huge leap in scoring, averaging 17.7 points per game this past season, while shooting a career-high 43.5 percent from downtown. With his length, slashing, and switchability, efficient 3-point shooting will ultimately be what makes him a very good NBA player.
The best thing about Bridges is that he’s improved in every year at Villanova. That suggests he’s coachable and hasn’t hit his ceiling yet.
