Improved Playmaking, 3-Point Shooting Driving Miles Bridges’ Breakout Season

Lately, it seems like a majority of the attention Miles Bridges has been receiving is coming via one of his many thunderous, posterizing, social-media-igniting dunks followed by an exuberant reaction from Bally Sports broadcaster Eric Collins. But lost in the madness sometimes has been just how truly well-rounded Bridges’ game has become in his third NBA season.

Since replacing the injured Gordon Hayward in the starting lineup back on April 4th in Boston, Bridges has risen to the occasion with averages of 19.4 points on 53% shooting, 7.2 rebounds and 2.3 assists, while knocking down 44% of his three-point attempts (28-of-64).
