Eric Bledsoe sucks as a starting point guard

[Al Thornton]

Eric Bledsoe is a typical example of how ISH works.

A young player with potential does some good stuff over 50 games and gets way overhyped.
He then starts and while playing solidly on the most part, gets not brought back to reality in people opnions but they go way over the top in their criticism.
When you have at least half a brain and have watched bball for at least 20 years at an analytical level you start to see things accurately.

Bledsoe is not a starter at the 1 right now, he is a bench player who can change up the temp and make critical plays.
He probably wont ever be great, as he doesn't seem to have the vision/creativity.
But he could he a solid starter at the 1 in the future. The problem with that is many teams have a great starter, so posters are right in saying he needs creative support at the 2 so he can basically play a role at the 1 spot of defence and slashing.

Another tough loss but until 2 late turnovers Bledsoe had a great game. 17 points on 50 percent shooting, 9 assists and 2 blocks. Played outstanding defense on Wall all game holding him to 6-18 shooting. Seems like Brenda made this thread way too soon after a few bad games.

No he's not ready to run a good team full time but he's far from overrated.

He didn't trouble the scorers in the 4th apart from some fouls and turnovers.

Agree he's not ready to lead a team and he's far from a bad guard. He IS over rated here in ISH, mainly by you! You were making constant posts and threads about how he is an awesome player and if you average his stats out over 40 minutes or whatever he'd be getting this or that which is better then cp3 and crap. You were the one hyping him up to levels beyond what he deserved which is why the trolls are posting about him sucking now. I agree he will be a solid player and has potential to be a great spark guy but he's not a world beater yet.

He didn't play until about halfway through the 4th . Still a good game.

He came in with just under 9 minutes to go (8:48).

Good game statistically overall, sure, didn't do anything in the 4th when he was needed.

Okay. He had a bad 4th quarter but a great game in general for a backup PG who's supposedly overrated. To have 17 points, 9 assists and 2 blocks in basically 3 quarters is pretty great. More importantly than that he held Wall to 6-18 shooting while guarding him all game long.

Actually he's 5-6 as a starter since CP3 got injured in general. 2-6 after CP3 went out the second time but was 3-0 the week before. You're trying so hard though Brenda, I'll give you that.

2 costly turnovers late... 2 assists and attempted just one shot. How is that choking? Dude isn't our primary scoring option . BTW he didn't allow two big threes he was late rotating to Ariza on one.. although it was off a long offensive rebound so not exactly his fault.

Why cherry pick 9? Bottom line is he's 5-6 as starter and has put up very respectable stats... coming off two fantastic games now a few days after you started your thread.

Even with Chris Paul in the line up the Clippers aren't yet ready to win a championship. Close, but not there.

[brandonislegend]

He is tweener, more dumb version of Russell Westbrook...if that is possible.
