You aren't worried about points at all? Almost every playoff team has a 20ppg scorer that can take the ball and go put points on the board. The Kings don't have anyone that can do that right now. Fox and Bogdan haven't shown us their scoring chops yet. Skal has been very inconsistent and Buddy can put points on the board but you can't just give him the ball and let him take guys 1 on 1 with the game on the line. The #1 problem of the team at the moment has been putting points on the board and it would be even worse if ZBo wasn't channeling his prime self. I know it's early but there are still massive question marks when it comes to where the points are going to come from.
Porter isn't the physical specimen Bridges is but he projects to be a true go to scorer. Doncic projects to being a #1 option version of Bogdan. Bagley looks like he's going to be good and Ayton has question marks for me as well but the sky is the limit for him. I just don't know about Bridges as being the face of the franchise. He's also only 6'7" so I don't see him playing a whole lot of PF unless it's specific matchups. I'm not knocking the guy at all because I would love to have him on this team but the Kings are backed against the wall in this draft and need to get the guy now or wait two years for another crack at it. I just wouldn't put my eggs in the Miles Bridges basket to be the guy who takes us back to the playoffs because the odds are quite a bit lower that he can be the #1 option than some of the other guys in the top 5.

I think the Kings just traded or drafted some players that can produce points, in fact, that's probably the primary reason they made it to the NBA for some of them. I think the Kings have potentially two 20 point scorers out of Fox, Hield, Bogdan and Skal if used properly. The issue is what some of them don't do. I think Miles Bridges, bridges the gap in those areas. Sorry had to. And you mentioned all the players that will probably go higher than Bridges. I can see the argument for each, but I also see that they don't possess the same characteristics that comprise what Bridges is. At least not in totality. I'm not sure if it were me I would take Bridges over most of them, and I'd even throw Bamba in there, I think his ceiling is ridiculous and he can do things offensively that aren't being uncovered at the moment. I look forward to seeing what Bridges can do for his value because the Spartans are thinking net cutting or bust.
