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.
hed make it for sure if he got more minutes instead we gave those minutes to a guy who cant dribble and shoot better than a 5th grader
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.
