Jared Dudley

When Jared Dudley was signed, he created some high hopes among Clipper fans. However, Dudley put up some of the lowest marks of his career as a Clipper. He shot 43% from the field, 36% from three, 6.9 PPG, and ultimately lost his starting job. Shortly after being traded from Los Angeles, Dudley claimed he was injured during his tenure. Despite this injury claim, Dudley has not yet put up numbers as good as he did in Phoenix.
