Yes, Jrue is much better than Bledsoe! Was Jrue worth the package the Bucks gave up? Probably not.
It's that the Hornets unashamedly quit so quickly in Game 4 after fans in New Orleans showed up this season with greater regularity than the team could have ever dreamed, shaming misinformed know-it-alls like me who kept telling you that local residents couldn't possibly invest their time and money into something as trivial as rooting for the local basketball team while still recovering from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. - Mark Stien ESPN
Im having trouble fiding any NBA PG that is worse than Bledsoe TBH...
Utah crowd all in PG’s head
If we hadn't gotten Bledsoe we wouldn't have ended up with CADE. All part of the plan.
Jrue is doing what Jrue does. He’s not out there to be depended on the win games offensively. If he makes a key basket it’s gravy but not typical. Problem is he’s being asked to guard the one guy he could never hope to stop. Durant takes Jrue to the post because if he tries to beat Jrue off the dribble, he’d get stripped. And then he just rises over him or spins baseline and Jrue is helpless.
Yes, Jrue is considerably better than Bledsoe.
Basketball.
But is he consistently better than Bledsoe? Is he better when you need him to be the most? Is he better at: closing games, creating turnovers on defense against high scoring teams, and not creating turnovers in games at crucial times?( they both are horrible at that).
He probably is but i don?t think it?s as lopsided as you think. I could be wrong. I?m going off eyeball test , but i am sure you could find some stats to prove me wrong.

He consistently gives better effort than Bledsoe. I don't think there's that much of a difference between their respective peaks but Jrue stays a whole lot closer to that pick than Bled.
I mean, if you've watched Bledsoe this year on this team you know that whatever else is true, Bledsoe isn't de facto any better than Jrue at those things, even if you think Jrue isn't as good as I personally think he is.
I take Jrue over Bledsoe on any team, in any context. He's just a considerably better player. Better defender, better shooter, better passer by a large margin, better finisher. Of course, just to give an example, the distinction between how good Jrue was for us (at times, had the impact metrics of a top 20 player and was top 5 in clutch points in the last year we made the playoffs) and how good Bledsoe was for us this past year (literally had the fanbase begging to have him benched), there's no comparison.
Even taking into account Jrue's playoff struggles this year, he's having a better playoffs now than Bledsoe did in his last year with the Bucks, and I'd argue that Jrue's last playoff run with us (against Portland and against Golden State) is better than any playoff run in Bledsoe's career.
