With OKC Thunder great Nick Collison retiring at the completion of last season, Jared Dudley represents an opportunity to replace one of the most adored locker room voices in the NBA.
The 11 year veteran has established himself as a valuable locker room voice and popular mentor among young players at each club he has played for. He provides grit and grind, displaying a competitiveness some players dream of.
After recently being traded to the Brooklyn Nets, Dudley has made an immediate impact on the club despite being there for a short period of time.
