LA Clippers stats: N/A

This one is going to haunt the Clippers for an incredibly long time.

Miles Bridges waited patiently as he was bypassed by countless teams in the 2018 NBA Draft. As LA’s time on the clock came rolling by, they nabbed the former Michigan State forward. However, they would immediately trade him for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Although Shai has carved out a terrific career this far, he’s no longer with LA.

As for Bridges, he’s turned himself into one of the bright young stars.

This past season, Bridges broke out in a major way. He averaged 20.2 points and seven boards for the Charlotte Hornets. With Bridges receiving serious All-Star consideration, if he continues to shine, Clippers fans will be seething in the process.
