Jared Dudley‘s line Friday night didn’t stand out when compared to his younger teammates. Four points, four rebounds and an assist in 24 minutes seems pedestrian, but what he actually did on the court —as well as before he took the court— mattered big time.
Dudley and Jarrett Allen share neighboring lockers. Dudley, 13 years older than Allen, is constantly in his ear before games discussing defensive tactics and what to expect from the opposing team. A tip here, some experience there.
You can hear the genuine care he takes, especially with Allen.
