In this latest less than scientific poll Chase Budinger is denied a spot in the top 15 picks of the draft. 69% of respondents think Chase Budweiser will fall to the second half of the first round and i couldn't agree more.
To put it bluntly, I think his game is lame. He has average athleticism, slow lateral movement and an average jump shot. Physically he can hold his own. He's well built with good size on the wing but lacks explosiveness and basketball sense. His timing and feel for the game could develop in time but his skills are a dime a dozen and I think there's many other prospects who rank higher.
I currently have him going in the low twenties in my mock draft (see upper right corner of page) and wouldn't be surprised to see him fall to the end of the first round. He reminds me a bit of Luke Walton but with a little more athleticism but lacking the great feel for the game that Walton has.
