Eric Bledsoe says Suns 'need to make improvements' after blowout loss
Phoenix Suns guard Eric Bledsoe says the team "needs to make some improvements" after a 124-76 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers in Wednesday's opener.
Bledsoe was 5-for-18 from the field and 1-for-6 from the 3-point line on Wednesday while finishing with 15 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block in over 29 minutes. It was an absolutely dreadful showing for Phoenix and an ominous sign for fans of what this season may have in store. Perhaps things will be easier for Bledsoe and the Suns on Friday against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Bledsoe scored 28.3 FanDuel points on Wednesday after our models projected him for 37.5. Over the remainder of the season, we expect Bledsoe to average 21.1 points, 1.7 3-pointers, 6.2 assists, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.5 steals on 44.2 percent shooting from the field.
