As far as I can tell, the Hornets are building around Miles Bridges. I might be overstating things, but he is their main attraction at this point (don’t believe all the misdirection around Terry Rozier, they know he sucks just as well as everyone else). I openly wondered in my last description for him what the Hornets’ hope for him even is, what they’re hoping he’ll develop into, and some of your answers gave me an idea of their vision for him. Blake Griffin! A way worse version of Blake Griffin! I understand now. It all makes sense.
They can be like a bad version of those Clippers teams that kept getting bounced in the playoffs. Bridges is Griffin, Cody Zeller can be DeAndre Jordan, Terry Rozier can be Chris Paul, and Caleb Martin can be Ryan Gomes. Perfect! I’m getting hyped for Hornets basketball already, but I guess I’ll have to wait a few years for all the players to develop properly. That’s okay. There’s a lot of other teams to pay attention to while I wait. By the end of this transition, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist will still be on the team but somehow will be receiving negative minutes.
In case you didn’t realize, this is a career high for Bridges. I didn’t put it in the title, because I figure that he’s going to surpass this mark many times before the season ends and I don’t want future viewers who want to see a vid of his career-high 52 points get confused when they search “Miles Bridges career high” and see this vid of him scoring a measly 23. Aren’t I considerate, thinking of people who don’t even necessarily exist yet?
