Lester Hudson scored 25 points in Cleveland's 103-90 victory over the Bobcats on Tuesday.

Hudson also scored 23 points on Friday against the Raptors and 26 on Sunday at New Jersey.

"The young man's playing great basketball, and he's doing it all in the system, which is great," Scott said. "He's not taking bad shots or anything. He's not forcing anything. He's doing an excellent job on the defensive end as far as rebounding for a guard. He's really getting in there and helping out our bigs. But, obviously, tonight again he got it going offensively and made the best of the situation."

Hudson is having a similar impact as Jeremy Lin did for the Knicks in February.

"The Linsanity thing I thought was similar to what's going on right now with Lester," Scott said when asked to name another player who had this kind of impact. "I think he's just playing great basketball."

Hudson signed a second 10-day contract on Monday.

New York had Linsanity; the Cavaliers have Lesanity.

Its nice to see that Lin influenced Lester so much:

“He made me have confidence in myself,” Hudson said. “He gave me confidence that I knew if I got in that position, I’d go as hard as I can and try to do the same thing he did. Hopefully, I can keep it going.”

All I see is a marginal player who is on a hot streak and is ruining our draft positioning.

I'm sure he'll make a team next year.

great, so any time a young PG has a good stretch of games we're gonna hear people saying it's like "Linsanity".

 

[elcheato]

He's a shooting guard who I guess could be classified as a combo guard. Definitely not a point. He's not very young either lol.

so basically this guy's season is nothing like Linsanity at all, lol.
