At the forefront of the charge is Miles Bridges. The Hornets’ longest-tenured player suggested the day after Charlotte wrapped up its 19-63 season in April he not only planned on staying in the Carolinas much more than he typically does to work out to get in better shape heading into his seventh year, but also intended on being at the forefront of organizing voluntary sessions with his teammates — similar to what Terry Rozier did during his tenure with the Hornets. “I love that Miles wants to spearhead that,” Lee said. “I think a big part of any type of culture or organization is your best players kind of driving things forward. And him being the leader and wanting to make sure he puts all the guys together in order to work and in order to grow and to learn from one another, I think it’s really important.” -via Charlotte Observer / May 20, 2025
