*Missed the Cut*

6) Luka Doncic (Danilo Gallinari) - seems to possess better handles/ skill than Gallinari, but without Gallinari's size and length... has same questions as Trae Young

Dude, thats nuts. Mikal is 22y old when the seaons starts. Doncic is almost three years younger and has allready more experience on every level. No GM is going to take Mikal over Doncic.

I completely understand. Just my "hot" take. I think Mikal Bridges plays both ends of the floor while shooting just as well as Doncic. He's probably the best perimeter defender in the draft. Obviously Doncic is better with the ball in his hands, but I'm not convinced he has the physical upside to compete on the NBA perimeter the same way he currently does. Mikal Bridges could be next year's Donovan Mitchell.
