Not that Dudley isn't a serviceable guy, but are we talking about the same 30 yr old that averages 8 & 3????

I get the Dudley appeal. He is a "beyond the stat sheet" guy, that won't break the bank. A lot of the good national NBA writers always have great things to say about Dudley, and his contributions to the teams he plays on.

I think people need to temper their expectations, short of us hitting the jackpot and landing the #1 or #2 pick and getting either Simmons or Ingram, we are not going to have a huge difference maker at the 3 spot next season.

Even if we drafted 504's man crush or Jaylen Brown, they aren't going to be ready to unseat Qpon.

Dudley is one of those unheralded "smart" signings a good team makes. He is a self declared analytics/Gentry ball convert, which means he will fit right in and lobby for others to buy in as well, a high character guy and a work horse. For 10-15 minutes a game and spot duty when injuries crop up, I think it would be a great signing. his lineup versatility is also a great asset for a team likely to battle injuries at multiple positions and wanting to switch and go small.

Do you even pay attention to the NBA? This team has to build around Jrue and AD. They need 3 and d guys. Dudley is a great fit next to AD in a small ball lineup. He is a really good defender, and is a career 40% 3 point shooter.

People who think Dudley is nothing should probably stop acting like they know anything about basketball.
