Yeah, I don't know what they mean by more athletic either. Westbrook looks like the faster and stronger player.
Wall is a poor man's Westbrook.

He makes like $14m/yr
Dragic is a worse player and makes $17m/yr
Freaking Terrence Ross is making $11m/yr when he's putting up like 6ppg on 30%
I'm pretty sure it wasn't definitive that we'd have such a big cap spike- cap smoothing was definitely in play when that contract was signed. Also, he had recently undergone a second surgery to repair a meniscus in the same knee, which was somewhat of a red flag for a guy who used his athleticism as the basis for his offensive game (couldn't shoot well back then iifc). There's also the fact that he garnered no offers in RFA. Part of that has to do with teams punting on good RFAs and Rich Paul's shadiness imo.
If he keeps up this kind of play, the contract is a steal for sure.
I don't fully like what the Suns did at the deadline last year though. Getting 2 firsts for Dragic was great, especially with the light protection on them. They should have kept the young players + LAL over Knight imo and got an underwhelming return on Thomas. That Lakers pick might have been their best shot at landing a star.

Re: Eric Bledsoe is underrated
Yes
He deserves to be an NBA All Star this Season.
Bledsoe this season is averaging 23/6/4. And the Suns are also the 5th seed in the West.
