Numerous people in the NBA believe it will be “very hard” for Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul to “win at the highest level” because of his size, per ESPN’s Brian Windhorst on Monday’s edition of Get Up.
“Chris Paul had a world-class clutch season. There are issues with him. His size tends to show up at the end of seasons. There are people in this league who believe that it’s going to be very hard for him to win at the highest level because his size is an issue. His stamina throughout games can be an issue as he’s gotten older. He definitely has been saving his energy for the end of games and that is something that teams can pick on in playoff settings. But there is no doubt about his greatness as a player and the excellency of this Suns team.”
The 6’0″, 175-pound Paul just helped lead the Suns to an NBA-best 64-18 regular-season record.
Phoenix won its first-round playoff matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans, but its season is now over after a Game 7 loss to the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference Semifinals.
