Every Monday, Suns.com's Matt Petersen hands out his Suns Player of the Week award based on the previous seven-day stretch. Stats are always a good indicator, but other factors can also come into play (intangible impact, game-swinging spurts, etc.). The runner-up is also included because often, that second guy's impact was just as impressive as the first's.
Player of the Week — Eric Bledsoe
The goal from Bledsoe entering the season was simple: make the leap to All-Star-caliber play.
Three weeks into the season, he's well on his way. Saturay's 30-point special was the third consecutive game the 6-1 guard has scored at over 25 points.
