The Phoenix Suns were, without question, the Cinderella story of this NBA season, and Eric Bledsoe played a big part in their success. Arriving as part of a three-team trade last summer,  Bledsoe had comfortably the best season of his career to date. He continued to develop into one of the most well rounded guards in the NBA, playing both at the one and two spot.

Although he missed significant chunks of the season through injury, for the 42 games he has played, Bledsoe averages 18 points, 5.5 assists and 4.8 rebounds. The one concern would be his high turnovers, 3.4 this season, but on potential alone, expect him to get paid this summer. Bledsoe has indicated he would be happy to stay in Phoenix, and the Suns have stated that they’d match “any reasonable offer” for their restricted free agent, if any doubt does arise, the Pistons should be prepared to pounce though.
