The Hornets need Miles Bridges to step up as a playmaker

Miles Bridges had a solid yet unspectacular rookie year for the Charlotte Hornets. The box score numbers won’t wow you with their volume, but they do show an impressive amount of versatility for a rookie. Bridges is going to have to build on that versatility in his second season.

The Hornets didn’t just lose their best player when Kemba Walker left for the Boston Celtics in free agency. They lost their best playmaker. Walker led the team with 5.9 assists per game and tied for second in the league in secondary assists per game.
