Dudley expects play power forward off the bench this season, Jorge Castillo of the Washington Post reports.

Analysis:

Dudley isn't a stranger to moonlighting as a stretch-4, having done so the previous season with the Bucks. The arrangement worked well during the postseason with now departed Paul Pierce, and Dudley could be in line for increased fantasy value playing alongside John Wall, the league's preeminent three-point creator. Dudley's a career 40 percent three-point shooter, and he should have plenty of wide-open looks this season. However, his value will still be capped due to coach Wittman's mid-range mentality. The Wizards attempted 16.8 three-pointers per game last season, the fourth-worst mark in the NBA.
