Eric Bledsoe

After another disappointing postseason run on an individual level, all eyes were again on how Eric Bledsoe would bounce back once the new regular season got underway.

On all fronts, Bledsoe has responded positively to that most recent setback, essentially picking up where he left off with his stellar regular season play from a year ago.

After being selected to the league’s All-Defensive First Team in 2018-19, Bledsoe has largely maintained his elite defense this season, and more generally continues to slot in seamlessly and selflessly beside both Giannis and Khris Middleton.

Bledsoe’s shooting hasn’t taken the kind of major leaps that would have transformed his offensive impact, but he remains a deadly driver and an increasingly astute playmaker who boosts the Bucks’ overall potency on that end of the floor.

The ultimate questions won’t be answered until April-June, but with averages of 15.7 points, 5.3 assists, and 4.8 rebounds per game, Bledsoe is certainly doing his part right now.

Grade: B
