Eric Bledsoe is getting his shot with the Suns
After trade from the Clippers, the point guard is thriving in Phoenix, partly by using a pull-up jumper he never quite displayed in L.A., where he felt a bit restricted. Now it can be revealed: That pull-up jumper in transition was not a shot under construction or a new tool now only ready for prime time after his apprenticeship with the Clippers.

Eric Bledsoe unleashed in Phoenix, feels free to showcase his talents
LOS ANGELES - Eric Bledsoe still has only played 15 games in a Suns uniform, so there was still a better familiarity with his surroundings on Monday and Tuesday in Los Angeles. Bledsoe had a celebratory 24th birthday dinner with teammates Monday night and made his first return to his former home, the Staples Center, for Tuesday's morning shootaround and night game. The familiar Clippers blue and red of his three years was not up on a Lakers night, but Bledsoe is fine with change, especially because it is changing his game.

Phoenix Suns' Goran Dragic, Eric Bledsoe excelling in dual-PG system
Now that Goran Dragic and Eric Bledsoe have finally started and completed three consecutive games, a better idea of the season's grand plan for a dual-point-guard Suns backcourt is being unveiled. With the past three games, there have been only five occasions during an 11-9 Suns season that Dragic and Bledsoe started a game that they both finished. Injuries to both guards curtailed the core of the Suns' offensive plans this season, but a five-game sample shows how both have thrived.

Phoenix Suns Player of the Week: Bledsoe, Dragic, or Tucker?
The Suns had a good week, going 2-1 overall which included beating the Houston Rockets on the road. So many different players had big contributions at various times...but who deserves to be named the "Suns Player of the Week"? The Finalists Eric Bledsoe aka "Crunch Time" Weekly Stat Averages: Points: 15.0 FG%: .525 Assists: 6.3 Rebounds: 3.0 After being out for six games from what I can only assume was the king of all shin bruises, Eric Bledsoe appears to be finally returning to form. Over his five games since returning to the Suns line-up, Bledsoe has had a few ups and...

Eric Bledsoe returns as Phoenix Suns pound Utah Jazz
Phoenix point guard Eric Bledsoe returned from a six-game absence Friday night, when the Suns rolled to an easy 112-101 win over Utah at EnergySolutions Arena.

Phoenix Suns Eric Bledsoe to get MRI on still-painful left shin
After missing five games with little improvement since banging shins with P.J. Tucker in practice, Eric Bledsoe will get an MRI on the shin to make sure it's not a serious injury. We've all had injuries that heal fast, and we've all had some that don't. Sometimes, what appears to be a minor injury lingers on and on for much longer than expected. You can safely say that Eric Bledsoe's left shin bruise fits in that latter category. Clearly, the Suns want Eric Bledsoe back and Bledsoe wants to be back. He is the Suns' leading scorer at over 20 points per game, along with nearly seven assists,...

HHH GameTime: Five Questions With Bright Side Of The Sun
Jim Coughenour of Bright Side of the Sun and myself had a chance to go back and forth with a little Q&A regarding the matchup tonight. How good is Drew Bledsoe, and can the inexperienced Sun's squad make a dent in the tough Western Conference? Kevin Kraczkowski (HHH): Eric Bledsoe has gotten a little better in each of his first three seasons (all with the Los Angeles Clippers). This season, he's gotten a lot better. Tell me what he means to the Suns. Jim Coughenour (BsotS): While many Suns fans have become captivated by the Bledshow, I tend to believe that GM Ryan McDonough is a bit more...

Phoenix Suns rookie Archie Goodwin looks up to Eric Bledsoe
While the rest of the NBA world looks at Eric Bledsoe as the young, first-year starter who is learning a grander role this season, Archie Goodwin sees something different. Few 23-year-olds become co-captain of their teams, like Bledsoe has for the Suns. Even fewer are looked to by a teammate as a big brother but that is what Goodwin found in his fellow Kentucky product from the moment Bledsoe was traded to Phoenix this summer.

Phoenix Suns seeking game finisher; Eric Bledsoe shows he could fit bill
After being in position to win three consecutive games they ended up losing, the Suns are a team looking to find their closer. Eric Bledsoe ultimately may be the guy, and he showed he has the intestinal fortitude for the job by hitting a game-winning 3-point shot against Utah and driving for a potential game-winning shot at the end of overtime against Portland that rolled off the rim.
