Arizona junior forward Chase Budinger will forgo his senior season and enter the NBA draft, his father, Duncan, told the Arizona Daily Star this morning.
The move is irrevocable because Chase Budinger tested the draft process and returned to school last season, which is only allowed once.
Budinger and Jordan Hill will hold a joint news conference at McKale Center this week to discuss their departures for the NBA draft.
Hill is also expected to leave, since he is projected as a Top 5 pick in the June NBA draft.
UA guard Nic Wise said he will test the draft this year but not sign with an agent, so as to keep open an option to return to school.
No offense to our current underclassmen, but compared to the Big Three, they haven't gotten much playing time. We have no recruits coming in next year and we're going to be playing a squad full of relatively fresh players with not much playing time. Unfortunately, that means that next year will probably be a rebuilding year and the streak is over.
However, I will gladly suffer through next year being a poor year if it means that the years after will be a return to national prominence for this program. I think Miller can do it, but only time will tell.
