Eric Bledsoe has done a very good job so far in the NBA Summer League.
He isn’t a loud presence for the Clippers, but he is becoming a quiet floor leader as he tries to improve his point guard skills.

[COLOR=#333333][FONT=verdana]While he has flashed the athleticism and quick reactions that allowed him to consistently provide a big spark for the Clippers this past season, Bledsoe has been at his best in Las Vegas with the ball in his hands, where he has shown the steadiness and confidence of a more veteran player. His 5.7 assists per game also rank second among summer league participants through seven days — not an easy task given that the bulk of players around him aren’t as accomplished marksmen as the ones he’s used to playing with in the regular season.

He’s got a high basketball IQ so I just try to learn from him.” [/FONT][/COLOR][/QUOTE]

Bledsoe is averaging 12.3 ppg, 3.7 rebounds, and 3 assists for the 1-2 Clippers.
Look for even bigger things from the former Kentucky Wildcat in the upcoming NBA Season as the LA Clippers make a push to win the West.
