Chicago — Jaren Jackson Jr. and Miles Bridges were at the NBA Combine on Thursday as nearly 70 of the top prospects for next month’s draft are in town to make their pitch to the league’s 30 teams.
Neither Jackson nor Bridges were taking part in the games being played at Quest Multisport, but they’re each still going through multiple interviews with teams while getting bombarded with media from around the country.
“It’s been going good,” Bridges said of the media attention. “Stay calm, give short answers.”
As he spoke, Jackson loomed behind the large group of reporters and was soon giving his former teammate a hard time for not responding to his call earlier in the day.
