ERIC BLEDSOE – PG
Last Season – 43% FG 33% 3P 84% FT 21.1 Pts 6.3 Asts 4.8 Rebs 1.4 Stls in 33 Mins
ESPN Fantasy Projections – 18.7 Pts 6 Asts 4.9 Rebs 1.6 Stls in 32 Mins
He is the leader of this team and is still in control on both ends. Whether the Suns make the playoffs or not seriously depends on Bledsoe staying healthy and thriving with Devin Booker. If the two-headed dragon comes out breathing fire, watch out. Expect a shooting line of 44% FG 34% 3P 85% FT.
Reasonable Projection – 21.3 Pts 6.5 Asts 4.9 Rebs 1.4 Stls
Goal – 22.7 Pts 6.6 Asts 5.4 Rebs 2.1 Stls
Middle Ground – 22 Pts 6.6 Asts 5.2 Rebs 1.8 Stls
A very fair comparison for Bledsoe in FGA and minutes played is Portland’s Damian Lillard who took 19.8 FGA and played 35.9 Minutes in 2016-17.
Stretch – 45% FG 35 % 3P 85% FT 26.6 Pts 6.9 Asts 5.2 Rebs 1.5 Stls
