Biggest Disappointment: Chase Budinger

Sorry Bud. Chase Budinger got 22.6% of your votes, beating Lavoy Allen (15.1%) and Monta Ellis (12.8%) for the dubious honor.

With 4.6 points and 2.5 rebounds a game, Budinger has bounced in and out of Frank Vogel’s rotation as 39.5% hasn’t inspired confidence. He’s made contributions in ways that don’t always show up in the box score, but overall he’s understandably disappointed fans that were hoping for the better Budinger we had seen after his last injury in Minnesota.

Here’s to hoping for a stronger second half of the season for Chase.

Runners up: Lavoy Allen (15.1%) and Monta Ellis (12.8%)
