Chase Budinger 2008 Fantasy Prospect
Chase Budinger is an interesting prospect in the 2008 NBA Draft. A year he was thought to be a lottery level talent. However, after a so-so sophomore season, Budinger’s stock has slipped a bit. Right now, it appears as if Budinger will be picked between 12 and 20.
The good news for Budinger is he’ll no doubt be a top 20 pick. On athleticism alone, a team will take a chance on him. At 6-foot-7 and 215 pounds, Budinger is a very springy athlete who has shown a good amount of skill in his time at Arizona.
The downside to his game at the moment is his ballhandling and his defense. He’ll have to play on the perimeter in the NBA and his perimeter skills aren’t top notch. Defensively, Budinger didn’t bring energy on a nightly basis while at Arizona.
If a team falls in love with him, Budinger could go in the 10 to 12 neighborhood, however it now is unlikely that he’ll be a top ten pick. This time last year, it was a no-brainer.
The next step for Budinger is to show off his athleticism to scouts, which is something he should easily do. Don’t believe me? Watch this Chase Budinger video . . .
