Who’s ‘Mr. Average’?

Jared Dudley is “Mr. Average.” How is he supposed to take that?

“I like it, but I don’t like it,” Dudley said.

The meaning of nba.com’s annual declaration of a “Mr. Average” for the league is more statistical than analytical. Dudley was chosen as the NBA player who is closest to the league averages for height (6 feet 7), weight (222.8 pounds), age (26.98) and NBA experience (4.9). Dudley is 6-7, 225 and 27 years old with five full seasons.
