The Knicks certainly have made their share of mistakes in the draft, and Miles Bridges made sure to remind them of it Wednesday night at the Garden.
After Bridges netted a game-high 31 points in the Hornetsβ 125-114 victory, he noted that heβs always motivated to play in New York after the Knicks selected since-traded Kevin Knox over him with the ninth overall pick in the 2018 draft.
Bridges, the 12th pick that year out of Michigan State, is averaging 20.3 points and 7.1 rebounds per game for Charlotte, which currently holds the No. 9 seed for the play-in tournament in the Eastern Conference.
βThereβs a lot of history between me and the Knicks organization, going back to draft day,β Bridges said after Wednesdayβs game. βSo every time I come in, I want to make a point of why they should have drafted me back then. I just try to be aggressive every time I come here.β
