When you feature two point guards on the floor, why isn't the offense flowing through at least one of them every time in the fourth quarter of a close, crucial game? It should not be going through a cold Markieff Morris or Gerald Green. Those players need to make those realizations, and one or both of the point guards needs to take control of the court.
IMO, missing the playoffs would make this season a real success
not only would they get a much better draft pick, and the possibility to package better picks to move up, but they have solidified themselves once again as a really good Free Agent destination after that disaster last year
Bledsoe is picking up his dribble too soon when trapped or blitzed on the high pick-and-roll. He needs to maintain his dribble and make the defense pay off a second or third thrust, rather than allowing himself to be stymied on the perimeter, unable to penetrate or collapse the defense. When he picks up his dribble too soon, supplementary players are forced to make difficult plays.
No free agent wants to come to Phoenix. Steve Nash was a mid level signing at the time he came back. We have zero chance of landing a Lebron/Love type of guy.
I wish I could say this was a successful season but that would be a blatant lie. Not only do we miss a huge chance of gaining playoff experience but we miss out on a top pick in a loaded draft.
