Hornets Rookie Profile: Miles Bridges

The board above the stage in the Barclay’s Center flashed that the Hornets’ pick was in. Adam Silver walked to the podium and announced the Hornets selection with the 11th pick in the draft, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Nothing surprising. But minutes later, it was announced that the Hornets traded the Kentucky point guard for the next pick in the draft and some second rounders. With that selection, the Hornets picked Miles Bridges, forward out of Michigan State.

Bridges was a consensus lottery pick and was widely mocked to the Hornets early in the 2017 offseason before he ultimately decided to return to Michigan State for his sophomore season.
