Hudson is a reasonable player. Quick and talented, but I must say that
I've never particularily liked him as a PG. I see him as a mad bomber.
Sure they go in the hoop, but he doesn't start the offense, he
finishes it.
If the raptors decide to draft a PG in a year or two, Hudson, Williams
and Rose will all still be under contract. Not a perfect situation to
bring in a young guy.
My best hope would be for a stop gap PG until a better solution arises
in a trade or possibly a draft choice.
I wont be complaining much if he signs though. The Raps need the help.
