I agree. He gets knocked a bit because he isnt a traditional pg. No rule says your pg must get X assists in order to be good or a good fit.
It's more than assist numbers. You've made it pretty clear that you are anti-assist as an indicator of guard play, but a PG should get assists, or he's either a chucker or not a point guard.
Bledsoe is touted as this defensive/transition monster by several posters, but transition often leads to easy assists. Where are those? Overall, it implies he is a good finisher, but has limited court vision, which I want in a PG.
Frankly, he is another combo guard that is pretty redundant with Gordon. People are trying to make him a starting PG here, but I just don't see it. If I eat crow, so be it. I really just don't think his numbers will project out to a starting PG role.

This is also the first season Bledsoe has shot over 28% from 3P. His ast/to was at or below 1.5 prior to this year. This is his best year for ast/to by far, and it's still only 1.58. That's without having to carry the load and bring the ball up the court against the best opposing defense.
I'm just not sold on him as a big upgrade. He could definitely improve our rotation, but I don't think he is a big splash in our pond.

Not sure about that. I like assists and the guys that get them just fine. But there is some debate as to how necessary they are for a good offense. To me, there's more than one way to skin a cat.

Thats not a knock to me. Gordon is a ball dominant guard, a traditional pg would be the same. The big knock is that Bledsoe cant shoot from outside. I would like a guy like Chalmers at the 1 if they had a good SF
I agree w/ you and teke that a trade plus big $ extension is too much for bledsoe. ideally, would like to get bledsoe and keep Vasquez.
