As a Twolves fan that trade (Butler for Bam) would have been a dream. We finally have a coach that understands KATs strengths and protects him from his weaknesses. KATs having success because we're playing him like a 7ft guard. Would have been nice having BAM next to him for defense and rebounding.

[@andreidinu7316]

It might also have to do with the fact that KAT matured (losing loved ones is a hard one) and he started putting more heart into everything. I remember when he got drafted, he was supposed to be even better than KG, I hope he reaches his potential.

More overrated, actually. He has MOMENTS. Consistency is greatness. That is what is getting lost in this current NBA. Dudes have moments..and are called ‘Great’…when true greatness is repeating those high-level performances on a regular basis, and very few players do that, in this current league. True standouts…STAND OUT. Ratings, hype, media..does not matter. They get their just due, and Butler is good, but just good. Nothing more.

[@khrisgmusic3954]

He’s honestly pretty consistent in his all around game. He’s going to get 8 or 9 rebounds, 7 or 8 assists, and lockdown the opposing teams best player. His offense is fairly consistent 21 ppg on 48% shooting
