Eric Bledsoe Finds Voice, Embraces Role as Suns' Leader

Eric Bledsoe is back in action to begin his fourth season with the Suns, but this time around, he’s got a revamped mindset thanks to an offseason of personal reinvention.

“I’ve seen a different person in Bled,” Head Coach Earl Watson said. “His spirit, his character, his transparency, and just as a basketball player. He grew.”

At just 26 years old, Bledsoe has become the leader of a young Phoenix team and this summer he took significant steps forward in that process. He began working with a life coach as part of an evolution to step outside his comfort zone.
