With the fourteenth pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, the Denver Nuggets select Miles Bridges from Michigan State University.

Miles Bridges is another example of a player who should have stayed in the NBA Draft the previous year. Projected slightly higher a year prior, many mock drafts had Miles going to the Charlotte Hornets at pick 11.

A combo forward, Miles fits into the Nuggets’ scheme off cutting without the ball and finishing strong at the rim. Miles Bridges averaged 17 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists for the Spartans this year.

Filling a positional need at forward, Miles Bridges will be able to learn the ropes behind Wilson Chandler an Paul Milsap and offer a scoring boost off the bench as Denver looks to make another playoff push in 2019.
