Perhaps no player had their role more directly impacted heading into the 2020-21 season than Miles Bridges. A starting forward in the 2019-20 iteration of the Hornets, Bridges moved to the bench this season and though his minutes slightly declined, his production jumped to levels no one could have anticipated.
From a scoring standpoint, he had the most efficient season of his career. He flirted with a 50/40/90 season, upped his production as a playmaker and became one of Charlotte’s most valuable players of the season.
It could hardly have come at a better time for Bridges as he’s extension-eligible this summer and could cash in on his production after cementing his position as a core piece of Charlotte’s future.
