3. Mikal Bridges

Mikal Bridges was once a lock to go in the top-10, but has slid down a few spots in recent weeks. If he slips past the Philadelphia 76ers at 10, he could fall down to the early teens. If he does, Milwaukee should jump all over him.

Part of the reason for his fall is that he only projects as a role player. He may eventually be able to create his own shot, but that’s probably a best-case scenario for Bridges. More than likely, he’ll become a super role player and someone who can do a little bit of everything.

This is exactly the type of player the Bucks need. He’d fit in beautifully alongside Antetokounmpo and Middleton. He can stretch the floor to the three-point line, defend multiple positions and rebounds well for his position as well. It sounds like a win-win.
