From the ESPN Preview regarding Ulis.
The 21-year-old has recorded five double-doubles in 14 games since replacing Bledsoe as the starter. He's scored in double figures in each of his last seven games.
Since the All-Star break, he leads all rookies in assists per game (7.1) and ranks sixth in scoring (12.3).
Ulis drew the primary defensive assignment on Westbrook on Friday night. Much was made of the MVP candidate missing a record-setting triple-double by two assists, but it should be noted he was harassed into 6-for-25 shooting.
"He's played two top point guards in the NBA," Suns coach Earl Watson said of Ulis' recent matchups with Westbrook and Charlotte's Kemba Walker. "He has impacted the game against both guards."
