I'm just gonna go out and make another draft prediction I'll probably regret, given my track record: Myles Bridges is going to be a bust.
fuck my bracket
it was kinda clear the guy was no superstar ages ago, especially considering he barely improved except at the FT line, heard endless bitching about how the team runs through him when it shouldn't (which is true, also the team as a whole needed to ditch Izzo's slow down circling offense, they would destroy people by running off stops and putting up shots before defenses got set, but Izzo's lineups are weird as hell)
he's been tanking on draft boards yet again just like he did last year which made him come back, it's crazy if he stays in the lottery i have to think
i noticed that he's also been listed as "GUARD/FORWARD" the last couple months, he's no guard, especially in today's NBA, he's an undersized 4 who you want to post on switches like Corliss Williamson used to be for the Pistons, only Bridges has a decent yet streaky shot, he's not really a good defender except against all those other "tweeners" that dominate college basketball...he also decides what he's going to do before he does it and rarely adjusts...i think he'll have way more trouble turning himself into an actual NBA player than Denzel Valentine managed to do
also that FLINT tattoo is one of the worst of all time
in reality jaren jackson was the only potential star on that team, he was also the only one who could pass out of a double team, he was great this year and he's still only 18!
if nick ward was two inches taller he'd be a beast, it was funny when Izzo played that white dude senior who hadn't really played at all during the season down the stretch of the game rather than his two best bigs on both ends, including one who could space the floor
