Miles Bridges is having the best season of his young career and it couldn’t have happened at a better time.
With the Charlotte Hornets on the rise and restricted free agency looming for him this summer, Bridges is in a win-win situation. He’s increased his scoring average by 7.5 points compared to the 12.7 he put up last season and has already recorded seven 30-point games and 27 20-point outings this season.
He’s headed for a lucrative payday and he doesn’t want to go anywhere. In fact, he has his eyes set on the paths of the likes of Kobe Bryant and Dirk Nowitzki. He’s all about staying with the same franchise that drafted him.
In the latest episode of The QC Hornets Nest, Bridges gets into that, what areas he feels he still needs to improve in, his special connection with LaMelo Ball and more.
