I "REALLY" like Butler's game.
As I've said before in a different thread - he's got Celtic DNA in him. Rondo must be rubbing off on him which is not bad at all.
He is the Tim Duncan of Small Forwards. His game will age well - in that he seems to not really rely on sheer athleticism to excel.
After watching him this series he really has no weaknesses to his game. He's intelligent, he's a very good defender, can shoot from deep, can post up, is patient, is smooth (without being flashy), can distribute, is physical, gets to the line (and makes them) and has a mean streak in him.
The Bull's losing this series has nothing to do with him or Rondo. It has MORE to do with Avery Bradley elevating his game AND BOS wanting this more.
Avery's play had me confident even IF Rondo would've suited up.
CHI's been in a "tinkering" state all season and only seem to hit a groove towards the end there - with RONDO getting consistent minutes as a starter. I have more respect for Hoiberg in dealing with this - in that he tried his best to deal with the hand he was given.
I believe that CHI's asking price for him will remain high but as I've said before I REALLY like Jimmy Butler. My gut is that he stays in CHI though - along with Rondo.
