Fan Blog: Lester Hudson

Lester Hudson has taken Cleveland by Storm! After having two straight games scoring over 20 points, Lester Hudson just signed his second 10 day contract with the Cavaliers. The night after signing that contract he exploded for a 25 point, 8 rebound, and 6 assist game to lead the Cavs to victory over the Charlotte Bobcats. He has proven to be a clutch performer over these past few games. Tonight against the Bobcats he had 14 points in the fourth quarter alone! Last game against the New Jersey Nets, Hudson also hit a game tying fadeaway three pointer from the corner with 0.3 seconds left to send it into overtime. Lester Hudson has only been in Cleveland for about two weeks, but he is definitely making them a memorable two weeks.

For those of you who don't know who Lester Hudson is, here is a little about him. Lester Hudson was drafted in the second round of the 2009 NBA draft by the Boston Celtics. He played his college ball at the little-known school of Tennessee-Martin. In college, Hudson became the only NCAA men's player to every record a quadruple double! (25 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 steals) The 27 year old Hudson has spent the majority of his bried NBA career bopping around from team to team and spending the bulk of his time in the NBA Development League. With the Cavaliers recently trading Ramon Sessions and then follow up injuries of Daniel Gibson and Kyrie Irving, the Cavs were scrambling to find a point guard to finish out the season with. That is where Lester Hudson came in.

Since signing the brief contract with the Cavs, Hudson has played in 6 games. So far in Lester's NBA career he has only made appearances in 42 total games and in those games he is averaging a horrible 3.6 points, 1.3 assists and 1 rebound per game. So far during his stint with the Cavs his numbers have exploded to averaging 19 points, 4.8 assists, and 4.4 rebounds per game. Although the Cavaliers season is down the drain, Hudson has created a late season buzz around the team. Hopefully he can gain the team a bit of momentum heading into the offseason.
