It's been quite a year for Eric Bledsoe. The former Cat suffered a heart-breaking loss in the Elite 8 of the NCAA tournament, was drafted, then traded, in the first round of the NBA draft, then spent the summer being scrutinized over his high school grades.

I mean I wasn't paying that no attention from the jump," Bledsoe told LEX 18 Sports.

"It was just talk. I was just focusing on me and my career. I mean what happens, happens. They were just trying to find a big deal out of nothing so I mean it happened."

Bledsoe is now relishing his role as the starting point guard for the Los Angeles Clippers. While the team isn't doing so well, Bledsoe has shined. He is one of the surprise rookies of the season so far.

While he is busy on the road with the Clippers, he still keeps up with the Cats. He watches them every chance he can and still stays in touch with his former teammates and coaches.

"I watch them a lot, I actually talked to a couple people on the staff yesterday. Tony Delk and Rod Strickland, I talked to them yesterday. They told me they were doing pretty good.

What about John Wall and Demarcus Cousins?

"Oh yeah, I talk to them all the time. They doing pretty good and from what I'm hearing. They're loving it too."
