The Hornets' Frontcourt Gets a Much-Needed Boost
Impact on the Team
Bridges' return not only adds depth to the Hornets' frontcourt but also brings a new level of versatility. With an average of 16 points and 6.5 rebounds per game, his presence on the court is expected to make a significant impact. Rookie forward Tidjane Salaun, who was also available after sitting out the previous two games due to a sprained left ankle, further enhances the team's options up front.
Before this, the Hornets had dropped eight games in a row. However, their win at Indianapolis on Sunday gave them some much-needed momentum. Now, with Bridges and Salaun back in the fold, the team is looking to build on that success and get back on track.
Coach's Perspective
Coach Charles Lee emphasized the importance of having these two players back. "More depth, more versatility," he said. "There haven't been any excuses made, and there's just been an overall competitiveness. But the one thing that we gain from those two guys is more competitiveness. But offensively, I think they help us create different types of shots, some better shot opportunities because of their ability to get a piece of the paint."
This added depth and versatility are expected to have a positive impact on the team's offensive game. Bridges and Salaun's skills and abilities will allow the Hornets to create more scoring opportunities and take advantage of different matchups on the court.
