It may be Bledsoe's time to get out of Chris Paul's shadow.
Eric Bledsoe exploded in tonight's preseason brawl in LA with the Lakers. He was a single steal away from a Triple-Double. His stat line included 22pts/11ast/9Stl.
Is Bledsoe wasting his talents on the bench? Is he ready to shine? It's far, far too early to say, but it will be worth monitoring. Maybe he'll get more minutes, maybe he'll get some attention from some PG-hungry teams. Maybe he can join former teammate, Eric Gordon in New Orleans?
The 18th overall selection in the 2010 NBA draft has all the tools to be an explosive PG. He's fast, has great handle, and drives the ball with intensity, similar to Russell Westbrook and Derrick Rose.
The question is, if given the opportunity, will he flourish, or will he become a Jerryd Bayless: a player with similar athletic skills, who has yet to live up to expectations.
I'm excited to see.
