Consider me underwhelmed with what the Charlotte Hornets did in the first round of the 2018 draft Thursday night.
I wanted the Hornets to pick Michael Porter Jr., the 6-11 forward with all-world potential and a problematic back.
Instead, the Hornets ended up with Michigan State small forward Miles Bridges. He’s a nice player, sure, but he may not even be the best player named Bridges in this draft.
With Porter, I thought the Hornets had the chance to hit a home run or to strike out. And that’s what the Hornets need badly — a home run.
