He and Cody's situations are similar, had Cody declared a year earlier everyone would have loved the pick at that time. Please let them both stay healthy.

There is nothing wrong with his three point shot now. :confused:


I didn't say anything was wrong with his shooting, but he isn't good enough to warrant him playing a position which he is undersized in.

Shot better from three than Collin JR Smith Sexton. :lol:


:lol: and your point is? Not a single person is calling Sexton a good shooter, he has strengths else where. People that think Bridges is gonna be a 3&D guy right off the bat are gonna be in for sorry surprise.
Your Charlotte Hornets! We’ll eventually get something right;right?

Confession time - I'm not sure how I feel about drafting SGA and trading him. I really liked both guys.

That said I'm excited about the Miles pick! I'm really looking forward to summer league this year with Monk, Bacon, and Miles. I'm also confident that this coaching staff will be a good one for him. I don't expect Miles to start this year, unless injuries force that for a few games.

I really like it that Miles is a two way player, can shoot 3s, is a decent passer, and - most of all - can create his own shot. If all that translates to the NBA he will be a heck of a draft pick.
My picks:
2020 Draft (3rd pick) - Tyrese Haliburton, Devin Vassell, or Onyeka Okongwu
2021 Draft (11th pick) - Moses Moody

Hes going to be a very good player. If given the opportunity I think he could be the Donovan Mitchell from this draft.

Love the pick. Perfect fit. Should be a starter from day 1. Let’s not forget about Bacon. Nice young core here.

You have to love how Izzo begged him back to school, was smiling and taking pics tonight after misusing the Hell out of him this past season!

So Dwight and now we pick a guy who obviously doesn't want to be here since his range was exactly us.

I think I actually like the pick more knowing this. Mitch didn't go the easy route, and you know he did his homework.

We have Batum + MKG at SF. We have Marvin + Kaminsky at PF.

I can see why Miles and his agent didn't see opportunity here.

But Kupchak is gonna move MKG + Marvin. He has a boatload of second rounders.

Miles said he loved the city of Charlotte on ESPN. It just means he thought he would be a Top 10 pick.

The fact that you have to think hard about why you want the guy. Not the case that he just wowed you in a workout and caused you to shake up your draft board, forces you to think objectively about his value.

Also apparently he scheduled a workout with us: http://www.mlive.com/spartans/index.ssf/2018/06/jaren_jackson_jr_miles_bridges.html
