Jared Dudley 6. Earl Clark 7. Taylor Griffen Small Forward(s): ...

Back of the Envelope Projection for the Bobcats' 2009-10 Season
Rufus on Fire — ... Last year, the Charlotte Bobcats finished with a 35-47 record, the best record in team history. The team certainly looked a lot better after trading Jason Richardson and Jared Dudley for Boris Diaw, Raja Bell, and Sean Singletary, but as I've argued before, even though they probably did improve, Dudley was the most valuable player in that trade. We gave up Shannon Brown, a perfectly decent guard, and Adam Morrison, a useless train wreck in need of repair, for Vladimir Radmanovich, ...

How About a Little Love for J-Rich?
Bright Side Of The Sun — ... Last year, the Suns acquired Jason Richardson from the Bobcats along with Jared Dudley for Raja Bell and Boris Diaw. At the time, it was thought that Richardson would fill the void Joe Johnson left as a SG with the size to create his own shot and post up defenders. Although most Suns fans were sorry to see Raja leave, the thought of having J-Rich's firepower in the lineup left most of us elated with thoughts that his acquisition would bolster our already potent offensive squad. Richardson played reasonably ...

The Making of This Charlotte Bobcats Fan
Rufus on Fire — ... Those hardy few who have read Rufus on Fire for a long time may recall that Jared Dudley was something of a cause celebre in these parts.

The bright side of summer...
Bright Side Of The Sun — ... Jared Dudley: Dudley, like Lou, is what he is. He needs to get into the best shape of his life and I would have him in the gym shooting 1,000+ shots a day from all over the floor. I would also have him working on quickness drills that should help his lateral movement. Also, in this offense he is spread to the 3 point line a lot so I would have him running the same reaction drills as JRich as well as working on attacking angles for rebounding. ...

It certainly worked in Phoenix. Frye was the only Phoenix starter to hit a three -- the other four Suns who started shot 0-6, with four of those bricks coming from Jason Richardson, who had an atrocious shooting night all around. Who else hit Phoenix's threes? Leandro Barbosa hit two off the bench. Jared Dudley went 1-2. Goran "Lil' Beno" Dragic hit 3-4. Bascially, Channing ...

Clipper coach Alvin Gentry starts his first full season as the head man in Phoenix, and they intend to revive the 'seven seconds or less' days.  Last February, in Gentry's first two games after replacing Terry Porter, the Suns hung 140 and 142 points on the Clippers in back to back games.  So they're probably looking forward to this one.  Beyond the first unit and Leandro Barbosa, the Suns don't look like much.  Goran Dragic, Lou Amundson, Jared Dudley, Alando Tucker and rookie Earl Clark are among the ...

Bright Side Of The Sun — ... New Phoenix favorite, Jared Dudley, came into the game and you can tell that he's able to jump start the team as soon as he steps on the floor. As soon as he came in he had a steal, made a three point shot and suddenly the Suns had taken the lead.
