How amazing it is that they have Chase Budinger listed as one of the lottery picks despite the fact that he and Lute have both said he's staying... ESPN needs to check their facts
We shall see if he comes out. We know that he is a likely lottery pick, and that is the bar that a lot of kids use when they decide on coming back or not.

I disagree, I think Budinger is staying regardless. He wants to play w/ Bayless next year at UA. The only way I see him coming out is if whoever had the #1 pick told him they were going to take him (which obviously won't happen).
Agreed... next year could be a huge year for U of A... yea, you're losing Mustafa, Ivan, and Marcus... but Bayless is going to be amazing, Chase with a year under his belt will be rid of any freshman jitters, Jordan Hill getting more time to develop, hopefully a healthy Kirk and Jawaan, plus add Jamelle Horne who has a lot of promise.
Next year could be the year for Lute to get another championship and hopefully Chase will stay and make it possible
Here's another scenario
The Hawks get top 3. Oden stays another year, and the Suns get #1 next year.
Guys I have one question about the pick and how it works. I know that the Atl pick is top 3 protected, but if the pick ends lower than 3, are the Suns obligated to use the pick this year, or can they choose to instead take Atlanta's first round pick in 08?
NBADRAFT.NET has stopped showing Bud. IMHO, he needs to develop physically, but could be a top three guy in a year or two.
