Jared Dudley
7 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 20.7 minutes per game
Jared Dudley’s season so far is a lot like Leandro Barbosa’s. His role on the Suns is to provide veteran leadership while putting the rookies in a position to develop. Dudley started the season at power forward but was soon relegated to the bench. Most recently, Watson held him out for an 11 game stretch to mix up the lineups. He is however, having the second best shooting season of his career from three-point range.
The biggest difference between Barbosa and Dudley is about $32 million. Dudley signed a 3-year $30 million contract this past off-season which is somewhat concerning considering his limited production.
