[NBA.com] Interview with Budinger w/ 1st Summer League Game Highlights

chase can be our jud buechler.. dead eye shooter and volleyball player

 

this was one of the guys i hopes the rockets would get , and thanks to morey it happend.

 

from the highlights it looks like the Rockets lost big and Curry had 40 points.

 

LOL Chase and Jud are very similar they both play volleyball, they both grew up in San Diego, they both were 2nd round picks, and they both went to Arizona!

 

I believe they said 3 players sit out every game and this was JT's turn.

Budinger better make the team. He's great without the ball and is a deadly shooter.

 

Wow I hope so, this guy just may be Houston's version Of Dirk!!!

 

Im pretty sure they said JT hurt his hamstring....

 

With Budinger and Taylor, it is impossible not to evaluate. Each will likely get the most significant playing time, though Taylor could miss this afternoon’s opener with a pulled right hamstring.

He really does look like a young Brent Barry in that video, if he has a High Bball IQ, he can really fit into Adelman's offense...

He oozed talent in college but the thing I hated most about Budinger in Arizona, in the games I've seen, was his tendency to disappear inexplicably against lesser opponents. He needs crank up his motor a few notches.

 

Some guys just look smooth playing...Tmac, Brent Barry to name a couple, they just look like they are gliding...but they are competing.

Sure about Tmac competing part?

 

He reminds me more of a young Sean Elliott. Great shot, good athleticism, average handles, slashing ability.

 

He initiated a lot of the offense in the games I've seen. His handles and passing are not up to par with (a young) Brent Barry, but he's no Steve Novak either. Offensively, he'll fit into Adleman's offense, but defensively, he's a huge liability. No lateral quickness and low motor. Still, a good value prospect in the second round, but I just can't see him getting much playing time to develop with Battier and Ariza currently on the roster

 

Same here,can't get that connection working,damn.

 

Working fine in Canada

 

budinger looks like he can develop into a decent player with a few years of development......was not impressed with white..

 

I never saw Novak dunk once and he was 6'10". Budinger did look good in the video and not a bad first game in the summer league but 44th pick in a weak draft tells you something. Lets hope 29 teams were wrong to pass on the kid and the Rox were right and found a diamond in the rough.

 

Yeah JT has a hamstring. And Rockets don't want to rush him back so he could be out for the whole SL I think..

 

Is the boxscore posted anywhere?
