To get an idea of the drama level of Chase Budinger's performance on Monday, consider that he entered the game against Orlando having hit just 4-of-14 3-pointers, and by the end of it was being harassed for passing up a 3-point shot.
Normally, an NBA veteran scoring six points in nearly 17 minutes of play wouldn't seem a big deal, but for Budinger it was practically a breakthrough. He was in danger of losing his place in the rotation to an oncoming second-year player, Glenn Robinson III, but was tossed yet another floating device by coach Frank Vogel.
