I like the fact he had his most productive game against Ga Tech. Could be a nice backup for Williamson and push Sam for minutes?

Bob Lanier was the head coach at Georgia State before coming to SMU. Apparently Hudson played for him one year.

He's a "known quantity" for sure and obviously Lanier thinks he can contribute.
