This is a smart move on Chase. He goes to those tryout camps and sees what the GM's think of him. His stock has dropped in the past few months and I can't see him being a top-15 pick, especially with the number of underclassmen and foreigners in the draft.
I think he will find out what he needs to work on and come back and flourish like he did during his freshman year under Lute. Jennings will definitely make him better.
Is there a forward in the NBA that Chase can guard?
Forget NBA, is there a forward in the Big Sky that Chase can guard?
I don't see how any GM with access to game film can justify drafting Chase top 15, but then again these are NBA GM's who get duped every year by some workouts against a couple test dummies.

I have always hated Budinger... but I have never seen so much blind hatred from a teams own fans for a player who averaged 17/5/3 for their team and was undeniably the teams 2nd best player... its really quite funny....
That said you all know damn well some GM is going to fall in love with his "potential" and "Athleticism" and will give him a promise....
I think he has no real potential in the NBA and should come back, but I would be surprised if he did.....

Right, because when you don't think a player is ready for the NBA that means you "hate" him.
The article I read on CBS today said he'll more than likely stay in the draft, rather than return, because he'll go in the first round. My guess is he'd be picked in the last 10 picks of the first round. I guess it all comes down to whether he wants to take a paycut.
Oops! I mixed him up with Kevin Love!

First off, he wasn't UA second best player last year nor does anyone hate him but 0/2 is about par for the course for you.

Probably not in the top 15, there's too many good players in this draft with just as much upside who show much better on tape. We'll see how what happens because I'm guessing he'll get a promise somewhere in the early 20's whereas if he stays on and Stern gets his two year rule he's probably top 10 in 2009. I'm also going to assume you think Jeff Pendergraph has no shot of going in the top thirty? Difference is, UA goes to the Tournament next year even without Budinger while you guys are NIT-bound without Pendy.

My question here is if Chase uses Suzuki to prepare him for workouts and help organize them can he come back to UA? I know the whole Randolph Morris nonsense changed the rules quite a bit so that the definition of what a kid can accept in the way of help completely changed.
Chase has a prior relationship with Suzuki and has presumably been paying him for years as a trainer but that does that make it "allowable" for Suzuki to be involved? I ask because I'd read that Suzuki was going to act as Chase's advisor.
I assume they were smart enough to check first and find out if that's within the rules.
Teams can easily put Budinger at SG and while he's not a great defender, Chase will have more size and athleticism at that position... Budinger shoots .38 PCT at the 3PT line with two 3PTers made a Game and is a decent passer. Which is decent enough for a 1st Round mid-round spot, IMO.
I'm surprised that with so many Suns fans wanting Mike Miller (who is a horrible defender himself) in Trade packages, that a #15 mid-round Draft Pick at $6-7 Million cheaper contract a year, is shot down so quickly.
Chase could be a Nocioni-type of player if he added some bulk and intensity to his game. Unfortunately I think he's a typical SoCal kid who would rather be playing beach volleyball instead of hoops. The kid has a ton of potential but I just don't get the impression that he "wants it" that bad. Maybe I'm wrong, but its just kind of how I see it.

haha... man.. go back and read some of the threads over the past year about Chase.. things from his attitude is horrible for UofA to posts of him being a HUGE dissappointment... These are all from UofA fans.. no one else...
