Re: Small Ball?
Dudley's a tweener. He'll play the 3 if we need extra work on the boards or 4 or if we need more scoring. Jordan actually mentioned him as backing up May after the draft. I think he'll be our version of Battier, only with less burn. He'll play with fire and skill, just not a ton of athleticism.
I get the feeling that Morrison's days are numbered. If he's not traded this summer, my guess is he'll be given another year to develop and then he'll be shipped out. I love the fact that now he doesn't have the pressure each time he goes out on the court to light it up or sit. Now when he enters game situations, he'll be looked to maintain the score while Wallace or JRich sit. If he starts to get hot, that's butter. If he doesn't, it's still all good. Plus JRich can teach him how to get open more in the NBA. Morrison spent too much time chilling at the corner of the bonus stripe waiting for someone to give up the rock, ala every play at Gonzaga. He needs to work off screens a lot more to be an elite NBA scorer.
