Charlotte Hornets
You can call me an overreactor, but I can’t help but give Miles Bridges the loves that he deserves during the first few pre-season games for the Charlotte Hornets. Specifically, during the team’s second pre-season game against the Celtics, Bridges showed out.
In that game, Bridges scored 23 points and grabbed six rebounds in 28 minutes. That’s extremely impressive for any player, that much more for a rookie who really isn’t expected to contribute that much during his first season with the team.
With as many big names as the Hornets have, it could be difficult for Bridges to see a ton of minutes early, but if he continues to flash, as he has during pre-season, they’ll have to give him the minutes he deserves.
