What about Vince Carter?

While everyone is warming up to small forwards Tatum or Jackson . What about Bridges?  Check out the highlights below. Looks like has a pretty balanced package. And can fly to the basket like Carter. Also a competitive defender

I like him, but he doesnt have the handle carter did. Carter was always a SG/SF, whereas Bridges is more of a SF/PF in my opinion.

I see alot more of a Josh Smith in Bridges. I dont mean that as an insult either. Prime Josh smith was awesome. And since Bridges already looks so advanced as a shooter, his ceiling looks like a shorter prime Josh Smith with a good jumper. Multiple time all star if everything goes right.

I don't understand why he isn't in the top 10. Seems like an oversight.

I have been thinking the same thing myself. Literally his only weakness I see is his height if he focuses on the 4 at the next level and his wingspan.

Not sure...Bridges and Smith move differently...Bridges is more agile

Some people also say Barkley...yeah i can see that.   Very nasty stuff

Just the thing is Barkley has a 7'4-7'6 wingspan or something ridiculous...and Bridges only 6'9-6'10

So because Bridges could probably defend SG-SF-PF at the NBA level (thick, strong, explosive) , kind of positionless...this is why I think Danny/CBS will be intrigued

It is. He will jump into the top 10 once the dust has settled imo...maybe even higher

In the games I've seen, he looks like a very talented freshman on a team that is not particularly good.  He makes highlight defensive plays but he also gets lost or doesn't give enough effort on defense sometimes.  He turns the ball over quite a bit.  I could definitely seem him being top 10 by draft time even in this strong draft.  He seems to be projected more as a PF but he's athletic and has the skillset to play SF.
