8. Miles Bridges, Charlotte Hornets
Miles Bridges is an animal. When he rises up, everyone else is spreading out. If I could describe his dunks in one word, I would use the word thunderous. Within the next three years, Bridges can easily be the best dunker in the NBA.
Watching the video below, you’ll notice his putback range and ability is insane, you’ll see how no one wants any smoke with the 6-foot-7 ex-Spartan, and you’ll see Dewayne Dedmon be the only defender to jump and he’s only mentioned because he took the L.
Bridges was a 2019 Slam Dunk Contestant and fared better in-games then he did in the contest, respectively. Bridges is looking like everything he was advertised to be coming out of Michigan State in 2018 and will have the chance to play alongside a developing crew in Charlotte.
In Bridges rookie season he averaged 7.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and not enough dunks per game. The Hornets traded Kemba Walker and committed to rebuilding this offseason so expect Bridges 21.2 minutes per game this past season to be a career-low.
