Arizona’s smooth-shooting wing who filled the box score
In the 2008-09 season, Chase Budinger gave Arizona a versatile, high-output wing game: 18.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.4 steals per game, while shooting 48.0% from the field and 39.9% from three. He was more than a scorer—he ranked among the team’s best in rebounding, playmaking, and shot-making, which made him a tough cover and a strong fit for teams needing a modern wing before that was even a buzzword. The differentiator: polished, multi-level offense with legit size and feel, plus a proven track record in big moments.
