Almost one month ago, I wrote a story on Charlotte Hornets sophomore and former Michigan State Basketball star Miles Bridges setting a career-high in scoring against the Los Angeles Lakers with 23 points. Tonight, Bridges set a new career-high when he dropped 31 points against the Washington Wizards.
To go along with his 31 points, Bridges also had 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, and he hit three three-pointers on the night. Of course, the Hornets lost to another bottom-feeder in the East, but it’s great to see Bridges performing so well with his increased role on a Hornets team that will finish as one of the worst teams in the league.
Bridges is now averaging 11.7 points-per-game on the season to go along with 5.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists. The Hornets might suck this year, but Bridges is already establishing himself as a legitimate starter at the pro level, and as a Spartan fan I love to see it.
