Spring is here, and once again Tyler Ulis is playing like a boss.
Last season, Ulis started very slow as a rookie (3 points, 1.5 assists per game through February) but finished strong after the Suns “strategically rested” Eric Bledsoe for the last two months of the season. He put up 11.9 points and 7.9 assists per game in March, followed by 20.7 points and 6.8 assists per game in April as he won Rookie of the Month in the West.
This year, he’s re-emerging in March again. Slowly but surely. His last four games he’s scored 11, 14, 19 and 23 points on better than 50% from the field, with 8 or more assists in two of those games.
