Jude is a stretch forward that can go inside and out, as well as defend the block and get you some rebounds. A rhythm shooter who can get it going from all three levels. He has pretty sharp defensive awareness not to let too much get in behind him and not let easy passes fly by. He will use good fundamentals with pump fakes and ball fakes when tightly guarded. An underrated part of his game is tracking the ball after shots, he has the ability to turn a tipped ball into a secured ball winning rebound battles.
