The Charlotte Hornets selected Michigan State sophomore Miles Bridges after trading for the #12 pick

Miles Bridges became the second Michigan State Spartans basketball player selected in the first round of the NBA Draft Thursday night.

The sophomore was technically selected at the #12 spot by the Los Angeles Clippers. However, the Clippers and Charlotte Hornets swapped draft picks and Bridges is headed to North Carolina.

Bridges was the second member of last years MSU team to be selected in the NBA Draft lottery. Jaren Jackson Jr. was picked #4 by the Memphis Grizzlies. This is the first time since 2014 two Spartans were selected in the first round, Gary Harris and Adreian Payne.
