ERIC BLEDSOE (POR)
#12•E. BLEDSOE
PG • 6’1, 214 lbs; 12th year, Kentucky
SALTY DOG
NBA ROLE: ALL-AROUND PG
Eric Bledsoe aka the ‘LeBron of point guards’* – chiseled physique combined w/ a blend of strength, speed and athleticism in transition; undersized but Bledsoe can be an unforgiving attacker on both sides; in a league featuring elite PGs w/ varying play styles, Bledsoe is no exception – aesthetically, no other lead guard goes about business quite like he does (most powerful?; can race past anyone at any given time, patient in the lane, picks his spots); 1st-Team All-Defense in 2019 – Bledsoe’s tough on-ball, normally leading the pack w/ steals; ideal guard to push the break (speedy, good rebounder who can rip the rock down & run); somewhat injury prone; dealt to Portland (2022) – always an X-Factor in the lineup: a #1 effort outta Bled gives his squad a huge boost on any given night
*in terms of strength & frame
