The beauty of a surprise season like the one Dragic and the Suns are having is seeing the complete certainty he has in his game. Dragic’s game is far from perfect: see his nine turnovers matching his nine assists in the Suns’ last two games, back-to-back losses to the Bulls and Rockets. Yet, in those same two games he’s scored a combined 47 points on 15-for-28 shooting and grabbed 13 rebounds. Just imagine what he could do with an experienced big man like Pau Gasol to play off of in the low post … even if the deal is supposedly “dead.”
