MILES BRIDGES (CHA)

STAR UNDERDOG

NBA ROLE: EXPLOSIVE, SCORING FORWARD

Charlotte's Miles Bridges: hybrid forward w/ crazy explosiveness; pure, raw power - can rise up off crossovers & boom, finish over or thru opponents; strong-bodied lefty: looks to bang and score, tough to sit on as a defender - great off-hand, features a variety of shots (hooks, runners) w/ his right; changes direction well for a player his size, underrated ball-handler; primary source of pts = triples, dunks & drives?; elite lob option, emerging distance shooter (best at spotting up from either elbow); needs to work on extra passing after penetrating & on the break; nice defensive instincts, recovers very well, looks to send back shots w/ authority; somewhat of a "tweener" - works well alongside LaMelo Ball; emerged as one of CHA’s best players in his 4th NBA season; re-signed w/ Hornets* (2023)

*after major off-the-court issues
