Eric Bledsoe made a name for himself during the Los Angeles Clippers' playoff run last season. The third-year guard gained valuable confidence that is paying off. Bledsoe narrowly missed recording a triple-double, finishing with 22 points, 11 assists and nine steals in the Clippers' 97-91 win over the Lakers on Wednesday night that kept their Staples Center co-tenant winless in seven preseason games.
