Sounds like a good first step for Len. In the past Len had trouble catching and finishing these type passes near the rim. His jump shot and FT shooting has looked smooth in the past when he is relaxed. He might be a bright spot this season.

Thanks for the rundown.

Plumlee still seems to be having trouble with this unfortunately.

As you know, my gripe is with the Suns gimmick of a 3-lead Point Guard roster. Not with the players who have to deal with it.

I am talking about the Suns performance. You are talking about me.

Y'know, that is not going to solve their problems.

The elections are over. It is not about discrediting your opponent. Besides, I am a registered Independent. I decide each issue based on its merits, whether politics or this ASFN site. And I study and appreciate the opinions of my fellow posters, whether I wind up agreeing with each of them or not. ;)

Oh lord lets stay away from politics :p

I realize you're talking about the Suns performance, not about the character of the players. But if you don't want to be accused of bias against the player then try to restrict your gripes to reasons that actually exist.

Bledsoe has been a turnover machine, Bledsoe (and the other PGs) are doing virtually nothing off the ball. But Bledsoe was easily the best player vs the Hornets and the only reason the Suns even had a chance in that game and, last year at least, the Bledsoe/Dragic combo was the reason the Suns contended for a playoff spot. Any claims that we faded when he returned are flat out wrong, the team got much better on his return, we faded when he was out.

Back on topic. f things keep going the way they are going then a change will be made. I don't think any of these guys are untradeable.

Your comment is inaccurate.

There is nothing fickle about those of us who posted at the time that we should not re-sign Bledsoe and be overloaded with Point Guards. The drawback of which is now coming to fruition.

And you are not in the position to declare whether he is or is not going anywhere any time soon.

I respect your opinion, or wish. But, just as the rest of us, that is all it is.

YOu do not let an asset like Bledsoe walk. You just don't. Not signing him would have been idiotic. If you are arguing for a sign and trade, fine. But it looks like they tried to do that and could not find anything worth doing.

Simple fact, the Suns have 4 NBA caliber point guards. I think Ennis has the potential to be a starter. There are teams that would love to have one of them. I would include Houston, Cleveland, and the Lakers in that bunch. This team is an intermediate stage in the process.

Cleveland has Kyrie Irving who is already an All Star.

Rockets need a defensive pest at PG to make up for Harden's horrific defense. So that means Bledsoe is the only PG from our roster they would be interested in...however, they won't even be interested in him because they don't want to/have the cap to spend another $14M for just one position.

Agreed on the Lakers.

There's an easy to find youtube video of all of Len's pts. from the game.

Also, EVERY single rebound/FG/FGA/point/play, etc. is in a video on the NBA stats page. Just click on Len, or any players name, go to game logs, and there's a video of all these stats. For some reason, this still seems like a big secret Don't know why the NBA/NBA.com doesn't talk about this feature more ....

It was a secret to me so thanks for pointing it out.
