Remember he was in training camp in 2013 and the Jazz let him go for JLIII
The Los Angeles Clippers announced today they have signed guard Lester Hudson to a 10-day contract.

Hudson comes to the Clippers from the Chinese Basketball Association where he is a two-time MVP (2014, 2015) and three-time All-Star (2012, 2014, 2015). Most recently, Hudson played for Liaoning where he averaged 31.2 points, 7.7 rebounds and 6.9 assists in 50 games.

Originally drafted by the Boston Celtics with the 58th overall pick in the second round of the 2009 NBA Draft, Hudson, 30, has played three seasons in the NBA. In 52 career NBA games, Hudson owns averages of 4.8 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 10.3 minutes with Boston, Memphis, Washington and Cleveland.

A Memphis native, the 6-foot-3 inch guard spent his final two years of college at the University of Tennessee-Martin. He is the only NCAA player to ever record a quadruple-double (25 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 steals vs. Central Baptist College) in a college game. He was a two-time OVC Player of the Year (2008, 2009) at UT-Martin.
 
Just in skimming his stats, Hudson had a decent run with Cleveland in 2011-12, but he hasn't proven himself to be much better of a shooter than Trey, and Dante's sample size is pretty small. Let's see if Hudson can have any sustained NBA success before trying to make comparisons to Burke and Exum.
 
On the subject of point guards Nate Wolters had a 24 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists game in the DLeague the other night. Kevin Murphy also had 11 rebounds for Wolters' team.

Nobody plays d in the d league. Ironic.

Isn't Stockton's boy averaging 40 and 15 down there?
