Suns' Eric Bledsoe: Came off the bench Wednesday

Bledsoe will played a reserve role for Wednesday's game against the Kings, Craig Grialou of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Analysis:

Bledsoe has played in every game but one this season, and started all of them. He aome off the bench in favor of rookie Tyler Ulis on Wednesday though. Bledsoe has not been playing as well as he was during a hot stretch he had in late January and earlier February, but he has not been bad. Thus, this move is pretty surprising. The Suns are likely giving Ulis, who has played very well recently, an opportunity to show what he can do running the point as a starter. It is unclear if the plan is for Bledsoe to continue coming off the bench going forward, but his production figures to take a hit if he does. The situation will need to be monitored going forward, or until the Suns provide more clarity on the issue.
