Clippers select Miles Bridges with No. 12 pick
With the 12th pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, the Los Angeles Clippers selected Michigan State forward Miles Bridges.
This pick was made on behalf of the Charlotte Hornets as part of a proposed trade.
Bridges enters the Association as one of the top athletes in this draft, and has the ability to finish with both hands around the basket. He shot well over two seasons in East Lansing, but there are questions about his ability to create for himself at the next level. He also appears thicker than his listed height and weight, with unspectacular length. Bridges should, however, have the ability to guard positions two through four.

What the analysts are saying
"Bridges is a freakish athlete who struggled at times to make the full-time transition to small forward, but he undoubtedly has potential as a two-way forward who can guard all over the floor and give you enough shooting, ball-handling and passing to get by at one of the most important positions in today's NBA." - Jonathan Givony, ESPN
