Eric Bledsoe

21.6 points, 5 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 33.2 minutes per game

Eric Bledsoe has been Phoenix’s one man wrecking crew this season. He has had 11 games of 30+ points so far and three games scoring over 40. This has been Bledsoe’s best season in the NBA and is averaging a career-best in points, assists, and free throw percentage.  His usage is at a career-high as well, and rightfully so. Phoenix’s offense heavily flows through him and Devin Booker as they are the team’s only legitimate offense threats. A perfect example of life without Bledsoe was the Suns’ recent match-up against Houston where Bledsoe was given a scheduled day of rest. Consequently the Suns were crushed by 31 points.

Bledsoe’s best game of the season came in a victory over the Toronto Raptors. He accumulated 40 points, 13 assists, and 6 rebounds, in 41 minutes of play.

There is only so much one man can do with the talent around them.
