When you think of a near triple-double average in Phoenix Suns history you think of Jason Kidd – the franchise leader in the category.
You don’t think of point guards who we were told was a complete bust when acquired for a second round pick and who the franchise never intended on keeping long-term when initially acquired.
And yet through two games with the New Orleans Pelicans that’s precisely what former Sun Elfrid Payton is averaging: a near triple-double. 10.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 8.0 assists.
Yeah, yeah, that’s on the Pelicans and they’ve got Anthony Davis.
