- Better rebounder
- Better playmaker with the ball in his hands
- Superior length allows him to accumulate more blocks+steals per 36.
- Can guard more positions including being a very effective post defender
Butler is overrated and overhyped because he's on the Bulls imo. He shot the 3 well two years ago, but that probably has more to do with him not really taking that many than him being an elite 3PT shooter. This year he shot more and shot terribly, was also under 40% from the field. There's nothing he does better than James Johnson other than a completely subjective evaluation of his man-to-man defense.

He certainly fits the need at SF and everything they have been preaching (big, athletic, shot blocker).
But isn't he coo-coo? Spousal abuse? Weed on a team plane?
I guess Raps need a headcase to keep the locker room on its toes?
There are a lot of these guys. Million dollar talent that seems to come with a 10 cent brain.
I think we traded him out of town because he was just to much of a distraction with a young team and little leadership from within to reign him in. Its a Lance Stevenson type gamble here. Talent is there .. but.
Heres hoping he has matured a bit and that with the lockerroom as constructed today there are guys in there to police him. If he is focused and is a good citizen he sure fits the bill of the athletic long SF to handle the bigger SF's that we see down low.
If not I think his ass will be outa town in a hurry.There's no such thing as a 2nd round bust.

Its a cheap deal @5M total over 2 years and leaves room for the crew to debate backup C or PG with our remaining dough.
We have two crazies now in TH and JJ. That might be enough to keep a lot of heads on swivels if they are in the game together. Looking forward to our first road game into Brooklyn with these two. One just might hold KG while the other one hammers him.There's no such thing as a 2nd round bust.
