Lakers Veteran Dubs Brooklyn Nets Swingman as a Potential All Star of the Future

Jared Dudley is a 13-year NBA veteran who now plays for the Los Angeles Lakers. Dudley is a person who welcomes criticism and responds to it in a witty manner. Moreover, he often registers his views on social media with posts related to the NBA. This time, he has responded to a Brooklyn Nets fan who posted about Caris LeVert.

Caris LeVert made his entry into the league when the Nets selected him as the 20th overall pick in the 2016 NBA draft. The 6’6” swingman has been with the team for quite a while now. LeVert certainly is a talented player who is now having a tremendous season. 

The 25-year-old is averaging a career-high of 18.1 points per game this season. LeVert shone bright right before the NBA’s hiatus. He displayed an excellent game against the Boston Celtics where he notched up the performance of his career, scoring 51 points. Moreover, LeVert also stands out as the player who impressed Jamal Crawford when the 40-year-old joined the Nets for the remainder of the season. 

Jared Dudley thinks Brooklyn Nets have an All-Star in LeVert

Dudley has seen keen potential in Caris LeVert. The Lakers player responded to a die-hard Brooklyn Nets fan who posted about LeVert on twitter. The user named “Brooklynsbeat” wrote that Caris LeVert being a good player is an awesome thing for the Nets. However, he believes that the Ohio native is not a star-material. 

By responding to the Nets fan, Dudley defended LeVert and even gave him a pointer to improve about his game. “Can def make an All Star team in the East, and be a 20 5 and 5 type player,” Dudley wrote. “He has to keep working on that 3 ball esp for next season with the 2 Top Dogs coming back… Has to be the defensive stopper like Klay is for Steph…”

LeVert is a talented player who can aid the Nets with his skills. He’s had an amazing season and would certainly look forward to playing alongside Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving once they are fit and back into the team next year. 

As for the Nets’ schedule in the Orlando bubble, they don’t have a smooth road ahead. With more setbacks in the line-up, they will be facing a fired-up Milwaukee Bucks next. LeVert too will not be playing the match as notified by head-coach Jacque Vaughn.
