Chase Budinger to leave Arizona for NBA, joins teammate Bayless

Arizona basketball may have gotten coach Lute Olson back next year, but they are losing their best two players on the court it seems. According to reports, forward Chase Budinger will skip the remaining two years of eligibility to enter the NBA draft, but has not yet signed with an agent, leaving the possibility that he could return. I think he should come back because he's underachieved in his two years, but I can understand why he's going. He was always looking to get to the league, if that age limit hadn't been instituted he never would have gone to college. He flirted with the idea after his freshman season, but decided to return only to find out that Olson wasn't going to be on the bench. I think coupled with that and the fact that running mate Jerryd Bayless already is gone make this a pretty easy decision, but not the right one.

Budinger should stay but like you said, he won't. I am happy, because it just makes Arizona that much crappier next year for the return of the Bears under Monty!
