When he participated in the NBA Draft, many people were not optimistic about him.
There is a scout report that once commented on him: is 2 meters 01 tall, 2 meters 02 arm span, and 2.58 meters standing. Acting as a small forward/defender. Advantages: The physical fitness is not bad, the style is tough, and the defense is strong.
Weaknesses: The arm span is relatively short, which may restrict his output on the defensive end. The technique is rougher and the offensive skills are single. It is unrealistic to expect him to use offense to carry the team forward. His projection is not stable enough, his vision is not wide enough, and he is easily emotional and has a bad temper.
The scout also assessed his future upper limit, whether he can stay on the ground for a long time NBA needs a question mark. Hope to become a qualified NBA rotation role player.
The player evaluated in this scout report is Jimmy Butler .
This kind of questioning sound, Butler has long been taken offense. He has endured a lot of ridicule and contempt since he was a child, and even his close relatives dismissed him with disdain.
Butler doesn't care about this, he turns doubt into a driving force for progress. Hold your energy, to prove yourself.
It turns out that Butler succeeded. He is not the insignificant, unremarkable role player in the scout report. He counter-attacked as an All-Star player, was selected as the best defense, and became a core player who can stand alone.
Since entering the NBA, Butler has been making progress. Not only can he use points to beat opponents on the offensive end, but he can also pass the ball for his teammates. On the defensive end, he is a cruel role that opponents don't want to encounter.
In the 2019-20 season, Butler broke out in the playoffs. He averaged 22.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, 6 assists and 1.95 steals per game. He led the team all the way to victory, defeated the Bucks, won , Celtic, and made it out. In the East, advanced to the finals, the Lakers led by James thick eyebrow. The performance is excellent.
He also performed well in the regular season last season, averaging 21.5 points, 6.9 rebounds, 7.1 assists and 2.1 steals per game. But in this year's playoffs, his performance was very sluggish and his performance did not meet people's expectations.
In the offseason, Butler was unwilling to lose and recruited good brothers Lowry to join him. Tucker and Morris also came to vote. Now that the Heat are strong and powerful, they are expected to have a place in the east.
Butler's counterattack story continues.
