Miles Bridges

Executive Summary

Miles Bridges is a player for the Hornets, ranking in the 89th percentile league-wide by Baseline Impact Score (73). In 32 minutes per game across 67 starts, Miles produces 17.2/5.9/3.3 (pts/reb/ast). His established talent level is above-average (BIS 73), but current form is poor (LFI 32). This disconnect suggests fatigue, injury, or tactical changes worth investigating.

Current Form & Trajectory

Live Form Index: 32 — poor recent performance, ranking bottom quartile of the league. Coming off a cold stretch but showing recovery signals. LFI dipped 9.0 points but underlying shot quality and usage patterns are stabilizing. The worst appears behind him. Historical regression suggests a return to baseline (BIS 73) within 2-3 weeks if no structural change has occurred.

Scoring & Shot Profile

Provides 17.2 PPG as a secondary scoring option (OIQ 9). His scoring mostly flows from the system rather than self-creation. The three-point shot at 32.9% is functional but inconsistent. Defenses will go under screens and sag off, limiting his ability to collapse the defense as a primary ballhandler.

Defensive Scouting Report

Defensive Reality Score (DRS 54) ranks right around league average among players. Functional wing defender who can hold up against most matchups. Not a stopper but won't be a liability. 0.6 SPG and 0.4 BPG.

Off-Ball Value

Gravity & Off-Ball Impact (GOI 31) ranks bottom quartile of the league among players. This is a significant limitation despite high on-ball usage — Miles tends to stand and watch when not directly involved in the action. The consequence: the offense essentially plays 4-on-5 when the ball isn't in his hands, reducing overall team efficiency.

Development Priorities

Off-ball movement and screening. He's a standing observer when he doesn't have the ball — adding activity would help both him and his teammates.
