Coming off a national championship and going into the 2021 Draft, Butler was pretty high on some relevant draft boards. John Hollinger had him as his 11th ranked prospect, and Sam Vecenie had him 17th. However, Butler fell to the 2nd round, partly due to some health concerns, and was selected 40th overall by the Jazz. He didn't get much playing time as a rookie, playing in only 267 minutes of non-garbage time over 25 games, according to Cleaning the Glass, and the Jazz gave up on him pretty quickly. He has bounced around a bit but has shown some nice flashes recently in Washington and Philadelphia. Offensively, what made Butler an intriguing prospect was his ability to score at multiple levels. He has a good enough handle to create separation, and has some craft finishing at the rim despite being undersized and not an elite athlete. He's able to make pull-up jumpers out of the pick-and-roll, which should force defenders over screens, allowing Butler to get in the lane and make plays. He also showed good passing ability in college. He hasn't shot well from 3 in the NBA, hitting under 35%, but he did shoot over 37% in '24-'25. Defensively, Butler is undersized but moves his feet well and generally is a smart defender. He closes out on balance and makes the right rotations. He has posted good block and steal rates during his few NBA minutes, and led the Big 12 in steals in 2021.  I was a little surprised that the Jazz gave up on Butler so quickly considering how much they seemed to value him going into the 2021 draft. He had some decent moments for the Wizards near the end of the '23-'24 season, but the Wizards were in full tank mode by then, so it's hard to take too much from those games. The same thing happened again for the 76ers in '24-'25, so it will be interesting to see how much interest the 76ers have in bringing Butler back.
