Scouting Report

Assets
  • Butler has a wide variety of offensive skills and is versatile enough to play either shooting guard or small forward. Butler has solid ball-handling skills and can slash to the basket.
Flaws
  • At 6'7" and just 205 pounds, Butler still needs to add some bulk to his frame to handle the stronger players he will face in the NBA. Could also stand to improve his consistency from outside.
Career Potential
  • Butler has the skills to be a starter -- but not quite yet.
