Judging the Wolves Off-Season Moves Part 3: Trading for Chase Budinger

       The Timberwolves went into the draft without their pick,(I still can't get Marko Jaric memories out of my mind) but they did have the 18th pick from Utah Jazz from the Al Jefferson deal. Chase Budinger is an athletic, two/three combo who can shoot the ball well. He was in the Slam Dunk competition, but yet the Twolves traded for him because of his shooting ability. He will most likely be coming off the bench, but he thrived under Rick Adelman before, so expect him to see a lot of minutes. The question brought up by this trade is if they could have got a higher upside guy in the draft with the 18th pick, but with how the rest of the off-season turned out it looks as if this was the right move. The grade for this off-season move is a C+.
