Remember when Budinger was considered a lotto pick?

Where's Vitale to talk about how awesome it is to stay in school 4 years when senior Budinger gets picked in the 2nd round?

He plays for Rubio's team's JV team. (Not kidding.)


True. Poor man's Trevor Ariza. He's athletic. Not much basketball ability. Terrible handling for a perimeter player. Extremely raw.

There were better international prospects available.

Jeff Pendergraph is going to be a beast of a role player.
You're looking at a true steal right there, 11/8 and a block a game career guy with good smarts and he plays within himself. I really wanted the Nets to get a 2nd round pick and get him, but suprise suprise he goes to Portland.

Silver is a pretty cool guy... meet him once at a boxing fight at MSG.

I like this pick a lot. I think Pendergraph will be a solid backup.

Great pick for Portland. Looks like LMA and will back him up. I think he is definitely good enough to play 12-15 minutes in the NBA.
