Jared Dudley

Does Jared Dudley really need any introduction to Bucks fans? Dudley is the perfect example of a great veteran to add to a team’s bench. He’s both a skilled player and one of the absolute best locker room guys you can hope to find.

Dudley is very openly a free agent this summer, and has been campaigning on twitter for fans to convince their team to sign him. Maybe Milwaukee Bucks fans should be making some more noise?

Dudley is even more effective on the floor than he is on Twitter. He shot 42 percent on three-point attempts last season, the second-best mark he’s ever achieved. Dudley’s 47.8 field goal percentage was also the second-best shooting season he’s ever recorded.

Jared Dudley knows how to play, plain and simple. Despite the persisting rumor that he’s an old man, he’s also just 30 years old. Locking him down for the next few seasons will be a great move for whoever does it. Hopefully Milwaukee can steal him away from the open market.
