If he plays hard and determined and some top west PG have injuries he could be all-star this year :wink:
Good to see he is more connected to the team now.

Hopefully he displays his masterful grasp of the English language in an in-depth interview soon. Never was one for eloquence seems like he prefer being the strong silent type

Perhaps he should have just said to play hard every minute. This dude does not have the mental make up of a 'killer'

It is good to see he is reaching out/responding, soft balling as it is.

I think he may have written that article I posted last night from BSotS.

He's balling so far this season. He's on the verge of taking that next step to "stardom".

he's using the half court differently. the way he moves around a lot is sort of Nash/Curry-esque, but he's using more misdirection. the strategy of it reminds me a little of Magic.

Yeah, when you see him on the court, now you definitely know he's a point guard. Very composed. Although he does leave his feet too much and then look for a pass, but he's taken his game to another level.
Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

Dude is an absolute stud. Before he used to just attack the basket and play out of control, and had no mid-range game. It was either barrell to the basket, or hit a three. He used to have no resemblemce of how and when to attack, and he wasnt in control on the offence

This season though, hes picking his spots really well. He's controlling the tempo in the half court brilliantly. He's keeping his defenders guessing by pulling up from midrange and hitting easy shots off the pick. Hes added an extra intelligence to his game this season.
The way he attacks the defence off the dribble this season reminds me alot of Chris Paul - and his craftiness in finding easy mid-range shots is something Ive never seen from him before. Step-backs, pullups, and even in the post. Not to mention his improved spot-up ability.

His added mid-range dribble-drive game this season has elevated him to superstar status, He's a superstar player. There is no doubt in my mind. This was something he needed to add to his game to elevate him to the next status, and hes done just that.

I dont want to sound like Im making a hyperbole, but with the improvements hes made this season, and will continue to make, he could possibly go down as one of the best to put on a Suns uniform at the point guard position. I cannot think of one weakness he has that holds him back.

I agree with your whole post...this last part would be very nice, but of course you are talking two point guards who are regarded as two of maybe the top 5 point guards ever, or close to it. And KJ, for a number of years, was up there too and possibly better, especially if you consider defense.

But no question Bledsoe is the best defender of the bunch and is just beasting.

Sure, but Bled is only what, 25? It'll be very interesting to see how his game evolves as he ages and gains more experience, and when his athleticism declines. We cannot forget that his assist numbers will be down due to playing alongside another combo-guard, whereas Nash was in 100% controll of the offence whenever he was on the court.
