On the defensive end, Butler has the edge, although Maggette himself was no slouch on D.
Butler has the advantage of establishing his career on a winning team, which he has done a fine job at, whereas Corey had been on losing teams for the majority of his career.
Overall, Jimmy does have the edge per his play so far this season, but lets see if he can maintain this type of play throughout an 82 game season, and playoffs, let alone comparing his newly found success this season to a proven NBA veteran player in Maggette.
