I think Bridges are in similar tiers when you consider overall ability and play. Bridges is a tier above Kelly defensively and Mikal is a tier above Oubre defensively.
Neither are top tier guys on either side but I like Bridges odds of improving more than Kelly at this point.
I don't know how you get there? Last year their scoring totals were close with the edge going to Kelly but a significant edge in efficiency going Mikal's way. Oubre is the better rebounder but Mikal has small leads in turnovers, assists, steal and blocks.
But again, the gap in offensive efficiency means everything here (TS of .667 to Oubre's .529) especially since Kelly's scoring advantage is less than 2 point per game. Mikal's advantages aren't quite as distinct if you compare entire careers but still, Mikal leads overall offensively and defensively.
