Default Best Unknown Player in America

A few years ago, I had heard about a guy from back in my hometown of Memphis that people were saying was pretty good. I saw him play a couple of times at a gym and the dude has some skills. He disappeared for a while but now he's back on the scene. Kind of. He's playing at Tennessee-Martin. Not exactly a powerhouse but don't let the level of competition fool you. Lester Hudson is a serious player. Right now, he's third in the country in scoring at 25.8 a game. He's also averaging 7.8 boards and 4.4 assists a night. He's a 6'3", 190 lb guard. Yes, a 6'3" guard getting 7.8 boards a game. He's had one QUADRUPLE-DOUBLE this year and another triple-double. Check out this breakdown of his numbers:

Games over 25 points-19
Games over 6 boards-22
Games over 6 assists-9

He's had nine games where he went for at least 20-5-5. He's very versatile. I want to say he reminds me of Lafayette Lever but with more scoring ability. And again, don't let the level of competition fool you. He's played four games (all on the road) against major college competition:

35-10-1 against Memphis.....that was his FIRST college game.
27-11-4 against Mississippi St.
26-11-2 against UNLV
36-9-6 against Vanderbilt

That's 31.0 points, 10.3 boards, 3.3 assists. He shot 44% from the field in those four games, 45% on three's. Especially impressive is the fact that he averaged 4.3 OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS in those games. Not bad for a 6'3" guard. That shows what kind of athlete this guy is. Some team is going to take a shot on him in the NBA and I don't think they'll regret it.
