Seems pretty fluid and athletic.

Can finish with either hand but is a lefty.

Looks interesting... he seems like a scorer rather than a shooter. He looks fluid indeed. I like how he can score off the off-foot too... Seems like a player who understands opponents reactions and uses smart moves to avoid their contests, seems crafty inside... either that or... level of opposition makes it seem really easy for him to finish inside.

BTW DX posted a video and report on Cedi Osman:

RUMORS:Suns offering 13 pick and Bledsoe for Knicks pick 4

New York would be REAL stupid if they didn't take that deal.

Bledsoe is coming off a year where he played 81 games and averaged 17, 6, and 5.

They have wanted to move down for some time now. If Towns, Okafor, and Russell are gone who are they going to draft anyways?

At #13 they could get their guy Payne or draft a big like Lyles or Kaminsky.

A Payne and Bledsoe backcourt would be nice especially in today's NBA. Not sure who Phoenix is targeting? Porzingis maybe?

I'd rather have Porzingis or Russell than a max contract Bledsoe and the 13th pick.

A Bledsoe/Payne backcourt would be awful. They are both about 6'1. It didn't work out in Phoenix with Dragic, who is a tall and very good PG, it's not going to work with a rookie like Payne.

Bledsoe doesn't fit the triangle, though... Payne is more triangle friendly player if they can get him, but I wouldn't rely on that since several teams in top 12 have expressed serious interest in him.

Ehh, you don't pass up a sure thing plus another lottery pick for a top-5 pick especially if the top-3 is gone.

What did I just say? Towns, Okafor, and Russell are gone in that situation.

If Russell is there you don't make the deal, but if he isn't you do.

Lol what? No, you take the swing, especially with a #1 talent like Porzingis.

Bledsoe is locked up for the next 4 years at 14 mil a year. Once the salary cap rises, that contract is going to be nice.

Hell no, Bledsoe, Carmelo, and the #13 pick could make the playoffs in the east. That's without adding any free agents.

If your end goal is to just make the playoffs and lose in the 1st round.
