Budinger Cold Streak Over?

Chase Budinger has conveniently started to find his shooting rhythm again.  Since news broke out of the Terrence Williams trade on December 14th, Budinger has had an impressive 62.3 TS%.  That is a big improvement over his true shooting this season leading up to the trade, an uncharacteristic 45.2%.   Last year he finished the season shooting 54.5%, so it remains to be seen if this latest hot streak is a result of Bud stepping up to keep his job, or simply a regression towards the mean.

Here’s a look at Budinger’s TS% and points per 48 minutes this season.  Points per 48 minutes is a good way of normalizing points per game for minutes, removing the statistical boost normally generated from increased playing time.
