Coach Sam Vincent echoed Felton's intrigue with the guy the Bobcats drafted 22nd overall in June.</p> To appreciate Dudley, you must appreciate the subtle, thankless tasks that often win basketball games. He does them all.</p> "He finds the open spots on both the offensive and defensive boards and he comes up with it," Vincent said.</p> "He's not an incredible athlete, but he knows how to use his body and he's got a real nice savvy about him. When you combine all those things with him always having to work really hard to stay on the court, he brings a strong element to this team."</div></p> Source: Charlotte Observer</p> I still cannot believe how far Dudley went in the draft. He's Chuck Hayes with offense, and is going to thrive in the Triangle offense. Dudley just understands the game and how to find the soft spots on the court. Good passer, good rebounder, finishes with either hand in traffic, he's just a flat out baller.</p>
