Hornets. player. Pick Analysis. SF. Miles Bridges. SF. 170. Scouting Report

Starting for the all-Spartan team at small forward would be Miles Bridges who has been an absolute highlight reel of a player this year — and for his entire career, for that matter.

The former lottery pick from the 2018 NBA Draft class has been a staple of the Hornets’ rotation as he’s averaging about 26 minutes per game. He’s averaged 25.5 minutes per game throughout his career and he looks like he’s taking that next step as a player.

If Bridges can get a little more consistency in his game, he could be a sure-fire starter in the NBA. He will score 20 points one game and then three the next. Then he’ll bounce back for 15 and then finished with four the following game. If he can just perform consistently, he’ll be a future All-Star.

Bridges is averaging 9.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 blocks this season while shooting 46 percent from the floor and over 41 percent from three.

Over his career, Bridges is averaging 9.9 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists and he’s a 44 percent shooter from the floor. He’s currently experiencing his best shooting year of his career and that’s a good sign three seasons in.
