I don't think he has much of a future in the NBA. His perimeter game isn't really refined enough to be a factor at 3 and he's too small to be a 4. Classic tweener. He's just now putting a perimeter game together, and for that new development he might get picked, but he won't be much IMO.
I think his upside is Bonzi Wells. Post-up guard that can crash the glass and occasionally shoot the outside shot, but not a playmaker or ball-handler. Bonzi is more exception than rule, though, and I don't see a team giving Dudley much of a chance. His game is very unorthodox.

I feel the same way. I think he's pretty underrated. The guy just has a nose for the ball. He hustles like crazy. Even though his jumpshot may be inconsistent, he can still hit a three and you can use him in the high post becuase he is a very good passer. If he was only 2 inches taller, he'd be a lottery pick but this guy is going to find a spot in this league.
He's going to be a solid bench player in the NBA. He's a Ryan Gomes-type. Just a solid all round player that plays balls to the wall, and coaches love having guys like that on the bench.

Don't like him. He is going to be a poor shooter from the perimeter and he won't be able to defend or work the baseline in the pros. He's not very athletic for a small forward. An end of the bench type of player IMO.

In the 45-55 range. Optimally he's probably going to be an 8-10 guy on an NBA team, so he'll probably be a mid to low second round pick. Then again, with guys like Kevin McHale, Billy Knoght, & Otis Smith terrorising the NBA draft, there's always a chance that he goes higher.

It's pretty hard to see him having a significant impact at the pro level.He just doesn't have any great skills or physical abilities that would obviously translate to the NBA level.Of course when he was coming out of HS noone wanted him either.BC was basically the only decent school that offered him a scholarship.He'd have to luck into a good situation and then just work until he found a niche.More likely he ends up overseas after a year or two at the end of an NBA bench.
