JOHN BUTLER

Luckily for us we don't need him to be an Olajuwon for this team.

 

I know it's wrong, but when watching his highlights (which were intriguing), all I could think of was how much he reminded me of this guy:

Spoiler

I stretched him out for better comparison.

 

His name in all caps intrigues me.

 

This guy truly truly sucks. Watch the section after the threes where he can’t make any two foot shots. Never seen bricks from someone that tall at such a close range. Appreciate going after tall people which this team definitely needs but a poor shooter who weighs 174 is not the answer. Bruno wipes this guy off the floor and would easily outrebound him.

 

We wouldn't be getting him for now. He is our project that can be groomed in the G.

 

Butler is not a 5.

He is a 7 foot 3-D wing.

Shoots 40% from 3P and can switch 1-5.

 

So he's a skinnier Chet Holmgren.

 

….who can’t make close shots.

 

Then how did he shoot 100% in a recent summer league game?

 

You could even say that this John Butler is a .... better man??

 

Maybe college is more competitive than summer league.

 

....but will make close shots once Lucas gets a hold of him.

 

I'll go ahead and be the first to add the obligatory,

"We gotta get him with Hakeem to unlock his potential!!!!!!!!1111"

 

Maybe all the shots were outside of 2 feet (minus dunks)

 

We are talking about offering him 2 way deal people.

He's obviously a project.

Like Hudgins.

 

Yetti = Burt Steele confirmed.

 

Looks like he could be a good project to develop into a bench 3&D role player. Guess we will have to see who shakes out after training camps. I know we like to keep a roster spot open for that.

 

He might need to go to Europe to develop some.

I'm sorry but at this point in time, I'd say Kai Sotto's better than him. He's too raw. He needs at least a year or 2 in college/G League or any more competitive league to develop.
