Efficiency Quote by Jared Dudley
“When guys feel like it's a contract year so you're forcing, you're stressing, you're trying to do that, what I try to tell them is GMs and scouts don't even look at your points per game. They look at your efficiency, your plus-minus. Everything's so analytical. You can average 15 and be a terrible analytic player - you're not going to get paid.”
