While I was thinking about what to write for this description, it occurred to me that I don’t have a clear idea of what Hornets fans want the end result of Miles Bridges’ development to be. Do they even know? Does the front office even know? Are they just giving Bridges minutes with the willingness to accept whatever he develops into?
If there are Hornets fans out there who haven’t been trampled by the combined mismanagement of Kupchak, Jordan, and Borrego, and also didn’t just give up and become Celtics fans once Kemba went there, can you tell me, like, a player comparison for what you hope Bridges will become? That way, I can use it in future video descriptions as if it’s an original idea that I came up with myself, and everybody will think I’m a genius for knowing so much about everything. Right now, those ideas are too difficult for my brain to ideate by itself.
Maybe Bridges could be Jeff Green version 0.9. An athletic wing with not a whole of lot natural shooting skill, but who has had enough reps in the gym to be a passable shooter. Or you could fatten him up just a bit and turn him into a small-ball PF like prime Shane Battier. Or, even better, his ceiling is a replica of explosive Bobcats legend Gerald Wallace. Those are probably terrible comparisons, but, as I mentioned before, I’m really struggling with this one. I feel like Bridges’ ceiling is just to be a really good role-player and I want Hornets fans to tell me how wrong I am so I can be right in the future.
However, if you tell me that his ceiling is LeBron and T-Mac combined, I’m going to call you out on my Twitter so everybody knows what a moron you are.
