Spoonful drops Batum for Jared Dudley
We've covered Batum previously -- he may have some spectacular games, but he's raw and buried on a deep team.
On the other hand, Jared 'Subway' Dudley is only behind Sean 'Fat' May, and is apparently starting today since May is (surprise) hurt. Larry Brown has already called out Fat on his conditioning, and Dudley was a fine rebounder when given the opportunity last year.
Judgment: Certainly this team needs rebounds, and Batum might have been picked up while management was slightly inebriated.
Note: I won't be able to post again until Sunday night - hope y'all hold down the fort!

Who the hell is Jared Dudley? I mean, sure, Sean May's backup is likely to be a lucrative position, but why him? I like Batum, especially since SF seems like a weak position for the Blazers (I have no faith in the Toutlaw Martell it on the mountain combo).
ReplyDeleteI think you're wrong on T-Out, and Rudy gets minutes at the swing position, too. Batum is awesome, just not ready...
ReplyDeleteJ-Dud was ACC player of the year! Just like Tim Duncan! or Josh Howard! Elton Brand! Grant Hill!
