     Seems like everyone is starting to realize the Clippers got a steal in the 2010 Draft.

    "MVP Candidate" is probably a bit much, but he’s an amazing talent.  His explosiveness on O is incredible and his consistent defensive positioning and on-ball defense is elite.  If he gets minutes and avoids injury he’ll be an all-star very soon.

    Yeah MVP candidate is a stretch, but he’s certainly a 6th man candidate.

     I think they probably meant the MVP for the Clippers lol not the entire NBA!

     one thing is almost certain….there is not enough room for him and CP3 in LAC.  Bledsoe is the guy LAL needs.

    I’ve been hyping EBled for almost a year and there’s room for both in the same backcourt too.I mean of course Billups I’ll play when he cones back as per respect for his skills.But really CP3/EBled back court would be super pesky,Bledsoe is 6’1″ 195 of muscle with 6’8″ wing span.He can guard 2 guards pretty easily and is fearless as you guys can see when he goes up for those boards.

    Here’s my personal scouting report on Bledsoe prior to the draft.

     Someone on here posted he is now up to 205lbs, not sure if that’s true(Wouldn’t doubt it) but if it is that guys a freak of nature because he isn’t 6’1(Shorter than Paul who is 6’1) Bledsoe is in the 5’11-6’0 range, and for him to do the things he does at that size is incredible.

    With Paul unwilling to sign an extension already, Clips are def holding onto Bledso just in case. Unfortunately for Paul, there arent any teams capable of signing himn that I think he’ll be interested in. Unless Dwight doesnt resign with Lakers, then those two can meet up in Atl, or Dallas if they still have the space. That leaves dealing Bledso. I think a team like Orlando will love to have him, and will move Affalo/Harkless, who can be a true 2G alongside Paul and Harkless a sf prospect. Billups works, but isnt a great backcourt mate with Paul, and I dont agree with starting Bledso with Paul.

    When its time to resign what do you think Bledsoe is worth?  Not sure if the Clips can carry his contract when the time comes even if they wanted too.  Is Bledsoe better then Lawson?  Holiday?  Is Bledose worth more money?

    Do I think Bledsoe is worth the risk? Yes

    Do I think he’s better than Lawson,Holiday? No, but his potential is just as high as there’s or higher and him learning from CP3 and Billups obviously is paying off big time, because he tore the pre-season up and in only 17 mins against the Grizz he had 13pts,4boards,4ast.

    Someone is going to take a risk on Bledsoe that’s for sure.
