Does anyone know what is going on with Buddinger? NBAdraftnet has him going at 11 to NJ, Hahn doesn't have him in the first round, and DraftExpress has him going at 24.

I like him but I don't see the Knicks looking to acquire him. That would be a good pick up for the Nets at 11.

i think he's a hard guy to peg in this draft, cuz he can shoot the lights out & he's got such great size & athletic ability at the SG position, but there are other guys who play the same position like Derozan who have much bigger upsides than him as a physical specimen, & then there are better shooters like Curry & Harden out there that are more accomplished players at the collegiate level... i'm guessing he goes somewhere in the low to mid teens.

Unlike most of the knowledgeable posters, I judge players on their name, and Chase Budinger to me sounds a lot like another player we drafted whose name concerned me:

Channing Frye.

Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Lebron James- those names sound like winners.

Channing Frye? Chase Budinger? They sound like guys at the end of your bench on the way out of the league.

Yes- highly superficial!

Based on names- I preferred Hakim Warrick over Frye.

And I probably would have preferred Magic Johnson over Bird.

Budinger is a pretty dissapointing player. He has some skill but he lacks the competetive fire to get better.

Not sure if you saw this, TMS, but apparently DeRonzan did not wow folks as much with his athletic ability in certain areas, particularly lateral quickness, at last week's workouts.

Compare his numbers with the "unathletic" James Harden and you will be surprised.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.. Buddinger is Brian Scalabrine part 2.

The reality is that Buddinger could be a steal in this draft and projects out to be a very good player. He does have red hair but he is not Shawn Bradley or Brian Scalabrine.

Same type of player, same stats, same conference.

How is an athletic big shooting guard the same as a slow pondering power forward/center with a good outside shot?

I meant to describe Scalabrine as plodding.
