Latest Laker: Jared Dudley Mixes Vet Leadership with High IQ Play

After a dozen years in the NBA, Jared Dudley is looking to bring veteran presence and on-court production to his new home in Los Angeles.

Dudley knows that much of his value lies in being a professional and a teacher in the locker room, though the 34-year-old can still hold his own on the hardwood.

Just ask the Brooklyn Nets, who bounced back into the playoffs last season with Dudley starting in nearly half of his 59 games played.

A small forward for most of his career, Dudley has moved up a position in recent years.
