I get a really good feeling watching this guy (on the court of course). I think he's going to surprise ALOT of people.

He says the right things.  Let's just hope he really means what he says about distancing himself from his neighborhood "friends" (see Tony Allen).

There's something i like about this guy.

Agreed, the best players are always the ones with the best drive. I think he is such a player. Knocks on him are being too short, at 6'1 but he has a 6'9 wingspan. He's also built like a football player. I bet this year he gets sent to the NBDL and challenges for MVP honors.

It's funny how they knock him for being too short, yet he avg's 8 rebounds per game for his career. He's a pro at steals, and as they always say "the name of the game is still scoring" he can hit the outside shot AND drive to the rack. I see him as an Eddie House type player only he's bigger and better defensively. I'd love to see this kid backing up Rondo.

and can't shoot like EH.

Last night Bilas?? compared him to Flip Murray. I think that is pretty spot on. Undersized combo guard from a small school. Hudson sounds fond of defense more though.

This guy appears to be pit-bull tough. Flip might be a decent comparison, but Murray is kind of slight.

I really like the Nate Robinson comparisons from a skills, style and play style perspective - he is not the same athlete however.

If we got Nate Robinson at 58 in a miserable draft, without the attitude issiues I will honestly walk down to Boston and kiss Danny's feet. I really hope he gets Pruitt's spot on the roster. Pruitt has had his chances and he just hasn't lived up to even the meager expectations set up for him.

Can't wait to see the summer league, though. Pruitt and Hudson will be fighting like there's no tomorrow (Because for one of them, there likely isn't a tomorrow in the NBA for them) and Hudson/Giddens/Walker is enough to get me excited alone.
