Eric Bledsoe will start the upcoming basketball season in China.
According to Emiliano Carchia of Sportando, Bledsoe will join the Shanghai Sharks out of the Chinese Basketball Association. The 6-foot-1 point guard has spent the last 12 years in the NBA playing for four different franchises: the Phoenix Suns (five seasons), Los Angeles Clippers (four seasons), Milwaukee Bucks (three seasons), and New Orleans Pelicans (one season).
Bledsoe was the No. 18 overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft after spending one season at Kentucky, where he was named to the SEC All-Rookie Team as part of John Calipari’s first recruiting class in Lexington.
