Analysis
Butler has capped off a solid 4 year career by becoming one of the go-to scorers in the Big East. On offense, he has the ability to play in the post or out on the perimeter. He has range beyond the 3 point line, though his slow release may not work well at the next level. Defensively, Butler is much more comfortable covering power forwards, though at the NBA level, he will not have the strength to defend the post. He will need to improve his foot speed and defensive positioning to defend well at the NBA level.
