Jared Dudley
This grade is very difficult to come by because Jared Dudley plays so infrequently. The fact that he is paid like a regular rotational player is not his fault (and in fact, that’s a blessing for him), as his real value comes from his leadership off the court.
Like Chandler, Dudley was brought in partially as an additional coach on the court and a good veteran example for the younger players. For this I am sure that he has done an exemplary job, and I would expect nothing less of a man of such high class.
On the court though, as he has not played that much, there is just so much left unseen that it is incredibly hard to judge. He has certainly not had a bad year, per se, it’s just that he hasn’t had minutes due to the other, younger, players who have rotational positions ahead of him.
I’m going to be polite and give him a B, although honestly, like Tyson Chandler, what more could you ask, or expect, of him?
