Can Jimmy Butler take yet another big leap?

[poido123]

Thoughts?


Hardest worker off the court. Made a significant leap by blocking out television, eating clean and training every day over the offseason.


If he does the same again and works on key areas of his game, does anyone think he can further morph into a superstar?



Or what he was last year close to a finished product...

Valid points made here.

Lol.

I ask for thoughts and you give me feelings

[masonanddixon]

I thought once teams started gameplanning for him it was all over. His ceiling is a 3rd option on a championship team which is pretty good. I'd say at his best he's on par or slightly worse than Chandler Parsons type of guy.

[Uncle Drew]

OP is a fggt.

he already is a superstar in my opinion. if he didn't play on the bulls slow pace offense he would have put up better numbers than PG13 did the year before who was considered a superstar.

He's definitely not a superstar. Once teams decided to guard him in February his stats went down significantly. He can't create his own shot and his jump shot isn't reliable.

This.


The at best Parsons comparison is just....


did you even watch Chandler Parsons last year?

And Uncle Drew is a....injury prone cripple.



Did I do it right? In line with the Rose is a mentally retarded cripple, yadah yadah yadah

Yes I did, I am a Mavs fan. Parsons was very solid last season. He is what he is--a very good defensive small forward who can't create his own shot, finishes very well on the break, and can space the floor. Thats Butler's ceiling. If you can't see that, you don't understand basketball.

We have a sensible response.


I knew you could do it ISH


The slow paced point is interesting. Hoiberg is known for his faster paced offense and just better offense overall(not hard when you're replacing pick and roll offense Thibs), I wonder how much this will help improve/inflate Butler's game.

butler last year was twice the player parsons has ever been. and i LIKE parsons.

No he was good for the first half of the year when nobody cared about him, then he came back to earth once teams focused on him, and did nothing in the postseason.

Thats what people like you who don't understand basketball are unable to grasp. There's always SOMEONE who has to score on a team. The distinction is being able to fill it up on a high percentage while making others around you better when other teams are focusing on you. Butler isn't capable of that. He's a third option. Nothing wrong with that. But calling him a 'superstar' is laughable. There's only about 3-7 legitimate superstars in the NBA.
