Scouting Report

Assets
  • A gifted scorer who also happens to be a hard worker and decent defender. Butler has quick hands and can come up with a timely steal. Led all rookies in scoring in 2002-03.
Flaws
  • Could use some work on his ball-handling and passing skills. Butler size prevents him from handling some of the NBA's bigger small forwards.
Career Potential
  • An All-Star in the making.
