One analyst thinks Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges is the 98th-best player in the NBA. 

Frank Urbina of HoopsHype ranked Bridges 98th in his top 100 players list for the 2025-26 season. 

"Bridges is a talented player, physically impressive and with a good amount of skill as a playmaker and ball-handler," Urbina wrote. "We’d just like to see Charlotte take a step forward as a team with Bridges at the forefront before we consider him a truly top-notch power forward."

Bridges appeared in 64 games for the Hornets last season. He averaged 20.3 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.9 assists while shooting 43.1% from the field, 31.3% from beyond the arc and 87.0% from the free-throw line. 

The 27-year-old Bridges has spent his entire NBA career with the Hornets. He has career averages of 15.7 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists with Charlotte. The swingman has never made the playoffs. The Hornets haven't made the playoffs since 2016. 

Bridges will make $25 million this season and $22.8 million next season in the final year of his contract. The Hornets signed the Michigan State product to a three-year, $75 million contract in 2024. 

Charlotte won only 19 games last season. Bridges, LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller are the three best players in Buzz City. 

The Hornets are 166-258 when Bridges plays. Bridges missed the entire 2022-23 season for his role in a domestic violence case in 2022.
