Jimmy 'buckets' Butler of the Chicago Bulls.
2014-15 stats:
22 points, 6 rebounds, 3.3 assists shooting 48% from the field and 33% from three.
Jumpshot has improved out of sight and he's almost automatic ala Paul Pierce- his offensive game has come so far.
He has the size to play SF at 6'7" with long arms and an incredibly strong and powerful base that allow him to turn the corner on even the best NBA defenders, draw contact and get to the foul line almost at will.
Lock down defender at the opposite end and will literally play the entire game and grind his opponent down with toughness.
I think Jimmy Butler is getting a max contract offer this offseason.
Would Danny Ainge have him as a target?
Seems like the kinda guy that making a gamble on giving the max before he gets there would be an understandable thing to do- I don't think the Bulls can give him anything near max because of Rose, Gasol, Noah's money.
His season so far has resembled that of a top 3 player on a championship team.
We could throw together a pretty sweet team very quickly with something like:
Smart
Butler
Green
Sully
Hibbert
With a bench of KO, Young, Bradley, Zeller, 2015 rookies.
