Head coach James Borrego has said numerous times that he feels Miles Bridges is best suited as a power forward in the NBA. However, when the Charlotte Hornets drafted PJ Washington and subsequently saw him immediately exceed expectations, it pushed Bridges down to the small forward spot. He did okay there, but there were still plenty of warts in his second season that need to be cleaned up going forward.
On a superficial level, Bridges’ second season as a pro looks like a big step up from his rookie season.
