Dude led the team in scoring the last couple seasons, no reason he can’t put up almost 20 PPG again in the right situation.

He absolutely can.. He's definitely a good player..but he probably needs to be your #3 option. If he's getting the ball repeatedly down the stretch in tight games, you're probably going to be disappointed.
