Bledsoe does most of his damage in a bench role against less talented lineups.


Ya, but there's nothing he or I can do about that behind Chris Paul. I think he's a starter from the little I've seen.

I think he did well as a starter. His last 3 games as starter were impressive.

It's a small sample, sure, but I think it's a sign of things to come...no way to know for sure.

He doesn't have any of the physical limitations to hold him back(like Vasquez), and he's still younger than Vasquez was when he entered the league.

I love Vasquez, but he's just not getting it done. I had high hopes for him early, but as the season has progressed, it's clear to me that he's not really a starting PG.

He's #22 among PGs in FG%, and he's the tallest of those guys.

...#34 in 3PT%, #26 in PER

His defense is bad.

Great passer, but he can't penetrate/beat his man very well or knock down the 3s.

I thought I disproved this stupid shite back in December.

So, he's better than at least 8 other starters? Also, he was forced into a lot of bad shots by the rest of our guys not running the correct offense and moving the ball until late in the clock this year. That is where a starter that is being depended on to carry the load has his FG% hurt. Context.

Just below average....

#26 in PER


Above average and quantifiable as better than several starting PGs....

He gets into the post for running floaters pretty consistently for a guy that can't penetrate.

I'm not saying that he's the best PG in the NBA, but I'm saying Bledsoe is not much better if at all.
