Couch: Miles Bridges, Jaren Jackson Jr. know they're ready for the NBA

CHICAGO – Miles Bridges looks and talks like a man who’s seen a thing or two.

NBA teams, he said, seemed to appreciate that — his willingness to follow his gut, buck the trend and stay in school for a sophomore season.

“They were impressed with that,” the former Michigan State star said Thursday at the NBA Draft Combine.

Jaren Jackson Jr.’s wingspan measured 7-feet and 5 1/4 inches this week in Chicago. The NBA wouldn’t have found it as amusing if he had decided to follow Bridges’ example and do a sophomore year at MSU.
