I know little to nothing about this kid, but here is what ESPN says about him...
Chad Ford's Analysis: Hudson is a fun pick here. He's a big-time scorer who jumps out of the gym, can handle and can shoot. For an NBA prospect, he's pretty old, and he hasn't played against great competition, but he can really ball.
Draft Projection: Late first to early second
Notes: Hudson declared for the 2008 NBA draft, but withdrew after failing to get a first-round promise.
Positives:
Big-time scorer
Very quick
Good athlete with good strength
Amazing getting the ball to the basket
A good shooter with NBA 3-point range
Has a good feel for the game and can play the point guard position
Excellent rebounder for his size
An excellent pickpocket, among the nation's leaders in steals.
Negatives:
Turned 24 years old in August
Has had very little exposure against top competition
Turns the ball over a lot
A bit of a tweener
Summary: His strong performances in 2007-08 against top teams like Memphis, Vanderbilt and Mississippi State had scouts wondering whether he can make the jump. The talent suggests yes. His age and a so-so performance at the Orlando pre-draft camp says no. Given his age, he's a likely second-rounder this season.
