A sleeper as top 10 pick, but not for long.

Really excited for this kid, cant say I was too familiar with him before he rose in the mocks this year but seeing what he's capable of in the NCAA... :o

Bridges kind of reminds me of a more explosive but still fundamentally sound Tobias Harris. It'll be really interesting to see how high he can rise when all is said and done.

FG%    / 3P% / FT% / REB / AST / BLK / STL / PTS
.500 / .400 / .545 /    8.7 /  2.3 /  1.7 /  0.4 /  17.4

His stats look really good as well.

Already has a professional body too.

Would have been better if he hadn't missed the two dunks.  He's definitely got talent.

ESPN had him ranked as the #8 hs player last year, right behind Markelle Fultz.

Harris/Millsap type of a player i think
got talent but u need to avoid missed dunks and threes to have good games when u r good)

anyway - very interesting player if we will draft for need

i like his game. plays with a lot of energy. looking forward to watching him more often
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

 Wow. Count me in. I'm impressed. Hes a power Small forward.

 Here's the problem though. USA Basketball has him at 6-6 with shoes on. That means he's about six five and a half with A6 foot 9 wingspan. He's freakishly athletic and he can handle the ball so he should be fine on offense. I just need to know if he can guard small forwards does he have the lateral foot speed. If so he can still be a great player.

He is aggressive, but he is a bottom feeder that loads up stats against poor teams.   We need size and  it is time to move past tweeners for Ainge.  I watched the UK game and any post of highlights that game are really a lie because he played poorly.

http://kentucky.stats.com/cbk/boxscore.asp?gamecode=201611150358&home=358&vis=292

6 points on 2-11 Shooting.  He boarded well with 12 and 3 blocks but you have to shoot better than 2-11.

Against Duke he has 11 points and 8 boards  on 4-13 shooting.

Both of these teams are ladden with NBA prospects and he faired poorly against them.   Could that be a warning sign?   He has definitely has time to improve.   Still I have to wonder if this draft class is as stong as they say, they always seem to underperform slightly.

KG is right a 6'5" is going to struggle because he is no Barkley.

Thanks for the thread, but why not the actual point you wish to make. What is it you want to say and for us to discuss exactly?

I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.
