NBA – Miles Bridges is free this summer and for Grant Williams, no doubt, he must be kept if Charlotte wants to be a competitive team.
If the Hornets, with 17 small victories, have another catastrophic season, only eclipsed by the (even weaker) Pistons and Wizards, the return of Miles Bridges is one of the rare rays of sporting sunshine for Charlotte.
After a blank season, following his conviction for domestic violence, the winger made a significant comeback as he had the best season of his career with an average of 21.2 points and 7.5 rebounds.
As injuries (LaMelo Ball) and transfers (Terry Rozier) have deprived the Hornets of talent, he has logically established himself as the best player on the team and, while he will be free this summer, Grant Williams hopes see again next season.
“I love Miles. I’ve known him since I was 15, so I’ve seen him develop, his talent is rare in the league,” believes the former Celtics. “He’s a threat near the rim who can shoot from afar, and is good at making plays. He’s vital to this team, arguably being one of the best players. »
“Seeing him return to this team would be particularly crucial. That would put us in a good position.”
This is a message for Jeff Peterson, the new vice-president, greeted by Miles Bridges: keeping him would therefore be an essential question for Charlotte.
“I know I’m not in charge of this stuff, but having him back on this team would be especially crucial, with LaMelo and healthy players like Mark Williams. I think that would put us in a good position.”judge Grant Williams, who finds that his teammate did “phenomenal work”.
In addition to his statistics, Miles Bridges also proved that he was back to his best level by playing 37.6 minutes per game, the best average in the league with DeMar DeRozan. Then, by not missing any matches due to injury. He only missed the first ten matches, due to suspension, then the match in Toronto, due to being unable to enter Canada.
.
“I kept my confidence throughout my white season. I spent my time working on my game,” book Miles Bridges who, at the time of playing his first game in November 2023, had not set foot on an NBA floor for 586 days. “I’m lucky to have played all the matches. I tried, with my team of physical trainers, to be available to play. I want to continue to be healthy. I may have pain, but I deal with it. I feel it, that’s clear, because at the end of the season, everyone feels it. My body is suffering but I still play. »
Which provokes the admiration of Grant Williams. ” It’s an example. It is enormous. This is the level of toughness this team must have. He embodies that and I pray he stays healthy for the rest of his career.”he concludes, hoping that it takes place in Charlotte.
