Does Duane Washington Jr. have the capacity for a playmaking leap?

The Phoenix Suns have a “point guard of the future” problem. If the mere fact of Chris Paul turning 37 years old three months ago isn’t enough to wake you up to that, Bright Side’s very own Tom Aizenberg likes to remind me that Paul fell off the proverbial cliff as soon as that birthday came.

Paul turned 37 on the day of game 3 against Dallas in the second round, and here are his stats from games 3 through 7:

9.4 points (7.2 FGA), 3.4 rebounds, 5.8 assists, and 3.6 turnovers in 32.
