Miles Bridges

Trying to temper my excitement 

But we may have hit on our first lottery pick in awhile.

 

Dude has shown flashes on D, with athletic blocks, running the floor well etc

 

Oh and he's 8-15 from 3 point range in the 3 games.

 

 

We wanted Kawhi, the best 3 and D in the league.  Well we may have drafted another really good one to be coached under a guy who coached Kawahi

I'm excited because I think we may finally have a coach that will play young guys if they deserve it.

Agreed, but just saw on ESPN that Monk came out on the court with no jersey on last night.  Come on man!

Dude was probably caught off guard

Not used to be called in

If Paul Pierce was the Truth, Miles Bridges is the Revelation.

Young talent playing early, and doing very well?

What sorcery is this?

New coach, new infusion of talent. This team looks rejuvenated.

mkg already hurt...again

jury definitely still out on monk...he cant even beat out lamb to start

Dude, Lamb is a baller.   He should have been starting all of last year.

The All-Star game came early last night.

Another win for the Hornets.

This gentleman looks legit and I think it's fair to say it's not too soon.  

If we start by giving Miles, Malik, and Willy all over 18 min/gm min, they will be as effective as the starters and we could rack up some wins this season.  Would love to see Graham in sprinkles by mid-season if Parker is showing his age.

Miles is a beast.. A true 5 tool player.. Gets you points, Reb, and plays defense like a boss.. We have a future star on our hands.. 

 

 

 

Ps.. And a coach who will play him..

[tondi]

Should be a fun team to watch this season.  I hope the new coach plays guys based on performance instead of the size of their contract.  MKG needs to be riding the pine if Bridges continues to shine.

I feel like he's been everything that we always hoped MKG would be

Full disclosure...  the similarities in scouting reports was the exact reason I did not want to pick him and was extremely disappointed when we did, as I thought due to our history with athletic, defense-first, hustle-until-you-develop guys would dictate that he wouldn't pan out...

I am happy to report that I am ecstatically eating heaps of crow as I type this.  Miles is the real deal.  I remember talking with one of my friends who is a NYK fan, and he optimistically said he thought Bridges could end up like Larry Johnson, while our history led me to skeptically point to Anthony Bennett.  So far, he looks a lot like LJ...  First rookie to be really excited about in a long time.

Also, I wasn't super excited about Borrego's hire either, compared to some of the names that were out there (Fizdale, Stack, etc.), but man, I think we got that move right too for the first time in a long time (or ever).  Just hearing his strategy, philosophy, and views about the team presently and moving forward (including playing the best players and getting shots up in the first 8 seconds or so of the shot clock) just gets me hyped.
