Come on, you potential junkies out there, you've got to be excited to know that Lester Hudson will be featured in three games over the next four days.  Okay, so it's the developmental league--it still may be the most almost any of us have seen him play.

I also like that they timed his  trip down to be as compact as possible, while still letting him get into something of a rhythm.  Will be interesting to see if they try harder to get him into games when he returns.

He's a rook and hasn't played but what I've seen I've liked. He's still in " could be a role player" Land.

There's a Claws game tonight, yea? Homegame at seven? Can't wait to see Lester and Billy playing together.

I think Lester could be a decent roleplayer right now. When Eddie struggles I wish we would give Lester like 5 minutes.

Lobster Hudson

tp and well deserved for lester's new nickname.

Grab a few boards, keep the TO's under 14, close out on shooters and we'll win.

Probably should've saved the roster spot and cash and let him play the year in the D-League or Euroleague to begin with, still following him and letting him know what to work on, then bring him in next year.

It made sense to sign 2nd rounders that were either ready to play (like BBD and Gomes), or when we really stunk and needed to take a chance on kids to develop assets (i.e. Brandon Hunter), but I seriously don't understand why the 15th roster spot was used on him when he could have been developed elsewhere for less money.

Like is potential, and he should dominate in Portland.  Hope we get so see Hudson and Walker work together some, too.

He's too old, it'd be wasting bullets to not have him signed and here.

Personally, I'm excited to see what Lester does.


As of right now, he's 2 for 6, but he's got 5 pts, 3rbs, and 2 assists with 2 minutes left in the first quarter.

This - particularly when Eddie is getting torched by somebody like Darren Collison or Jrue Holliday.  Eddie can't handle quicker guards at all.

Hudson is struggling a bit tonight with his shot (he's 4 for 11), but he shows excellent range, and he shoots off of the dribble very well.  He also broke someone's ankles on an inside-out dribble which resulted in him hitting a sweeping hook-like floater that led to a three-point play.  At the half he's got 11 pts,5 rebs,and 4 assists.  Much like Rondo, he plays a complete game.

Rondo has said Hudson reminds him of himself.
