ESPN NBA Mock Draft Hornets select Miles Bridges

[JakeDel5674]

11. Charlotte Hornets
Miles Bridges
Michigan State
Sophomore
SF/PF

Charlotte continues to search for long-term solutions at both forward positions, and will likely look to add athleticism to what has become a fairly disappointing roster.

Bridges is a freakish athlete who has struggled at times to make the full-time transition to small forward, but he undoubtedly has potential as a two-way forward who can guard all over the floor and give you enough shooting, ballhandling and passing to get by at one of the most important positions in today's NBA.

would not be mad at all, that would be great value that late in the draft too

[Vagrant]

I just despise the variance associated with picking 8th-15th. there's so many talented players with huge question marks and we always seem to pick the one that has the most trouble adjusting. the last "freak athlete" we drafted was MKG at 2nd overall. not saying these two players are the same, but it's just disheartening to be this bad and pick this low on a regular basis. 

[davos]

Either Bridges would be fine.  I strongly prefer Mikal however.  I think that kid is going to be a presence in the league for quite some time.

Wendell Carter has looked really good with bagely out.  I think he'd make a really solid nba 5. That's a big duke homer though.  Any thoughts from duke haters?

I don't really watch too much college basketball and I haven't researched prospects yet, but all I know is that we need to get longer and more athletic. I can't really name a guy on the roster who I consider to be a crazy good athlete.

honestly the more I watch of bagley the less highly I think of him, while the more I watch of Wendell Carter the more I think of him. 

Could very well be Carter ends up being the better NBA player

I think so too. Bagley is too slow for a 3 and too small for a 4. Carter has the body for an nba 5. Plus he can run the floor, handle the ball well enough and shoot the occasional 3

[JakeDel5674]

If Carter is there, I think we take him. Don't see him dropping to us though. 

[Ornias]

Unless we change coaching staffs, we could draft MJ, Shaq and Kobe, and still finish 10th in the east. 

[OldNorthPowell]

Still in prime position to get a pick in the 10-12 range. Meaning it will be another wasted year. At least I know I was right when I called out the organization a few years ago. Smh. 

[Eazy-E]

I personally think this draft sucks so I’d be totally fine with the pick. This draft has some of the biggest question marks for top prospects I’ve seen in years.

[WOW!!]

That would be a nice edition.. He has a NBA body now...
