    While he's been inconsistent, I do think he deserved a spot.

    He was injured a lot.

    And yeah, he's not really better than anyone on that roster. Who would you replace with Budinger? Jerebko is the only name I can see him replace.

    But then you have Ty Lawson and DeMar DeRozan who deserve it more than Budinger, too.

    It is all Morey & Ariza's fault.

    That's fair. He's not as good as the other rookies.

    Blair does.

    Gibson/Jerebko maybe not, but Lawson/DeRozan would fill their spots, not Budinger.

    While he might get a lot of credit and recognition on our team. Around the NBA, he is not that well-known. Come on guys. Chase Budinger? Really? He's good, but he isn't going to make the rookie team over players like Tyreke Evans, Dejuan Blair, etc.

    Budinger has half the rebounds, low 40s FG% and plays worse defense than Jerebko.

    Blair is a monster on the boards and efficient on offense.

    Taj gets a block every game and is a good rebounder. He had a great game against us in the Toyota Center 16 pts, 14 rebs, 2 assists, 1 block.

    Budinger has been getting almost 20 minutes a game, but he has been passive lately.

    Too much talent on that squad for Budinger to get in.
