Pres if you're so omnipotent why are you not a GM? You CLEARLY know exactly what this 22 year old kid - who's either been playing out of position since high school, buried under veterans or sidelined by injuries - is going to be, so I guess there's no point in "debating" with you... Stars win in the NBA. We're saying roll the dice on this kid. If we'd only have had your advanced knowledge we could've saved ourselves the embarrassingly optimistic posts. Oh well... next time.
and he's the third string PG on the clippers currently. he apparantly started at the beginning of the year when Baron Davis was injured, then lost his starting position to finish with a dominating 6.7ppg and 3.6agp.
It seems like you're throwing darts at a board. I mean, where did "Eric Bledsoe" come from here. This is like Ramon Sessions all over again.
lol...wow... You are right, he is 3rd string.... 22yr old, 2nd year player, coming off a significant injury in November, he is backing up a future hall of famer in Chris Paul...and a pretty decent vet in Mo Williams.... Clearly, your case has been made...and it is STRONG....
Having watched Bledsoe quite a bit, he has a ton of talent and natural ability. But, I don't think he's ever been coached on how to actually run the PG position. Every time I watch a Clippers game their announcers are ranting and raving about Bledsoe. I consider the Clippers announcing team to be one of the more knowledgeable in the league.
Foye\Williams interchange at PG, but why let that stop you....You could have at least added Billups...
@johnhollinger Crawford-for-Bledsoe can be defended on other merits, but Bledsoe is one of few PGs in captivity more TO-prone than Felton.
what does this even mean? I mean me being an idiot and all. Me don't get it. So Foye/Willliams interchange as a backup PG, so that makes Bledsoe the 3rd string, not the 4th string PG? good point. :MARIS61:
NO, LOOK AT THIS IT WILL CHANGE YOUR MIND: EDIT: oh wait, look at all those fucking turnovers. :MARIS61:
I would much rather have Felton. But that isn't saying much. "Rival executives believe the Blazers are interested in exploring a swap of Felton to the Lakers for Steve Blake, with L.A. sending another piece to make the salaries match and compensate the Blazers for getting the better player and future cost savings in the deal. The Portland coaching staff and front office are comfortable with Blake, who could provide a calming presence as the team battles through numerous distractions. Coach Nate McMillan appears to be safe for the time being, according to people in contact with Blazers officials." CBSSports.com
