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.
