 There’s an article stating that Jimmy Butler working on his point guard skills. I belive Jimmy Butler is going to keep getting better and better because he have one of the best work ethics in the league, based on his improvement and what experts say. 

In this article on RealGM that Jimmy Butler working on his point guard skills, not just that he feels like he wants to be a point guard now. I believe this will take his game to another level. His game is all slashing, mid post and shooting three’s. His game can take another leap by him being more of a threat off the dribble, using ball screens, and being able to finish in various ways around the basket (floaters, runners, etc…)

You would think that Jimmy Butler might have reached his limit in his game by the way he’s improved from 2 seasons ago to this season, but he might have another breakout year and be more than what he is now.

Jimmy is clearly taking jabs at Rose in the media with these comments.. Read between the line..Jimmy is pretty much saying he can do everything Rose can do.

There’s no hostility. Maybe a bit of envy but Jimmy just wants to be on the same level as pre-injury Derrick Rose. He wants to be a leader and he wants to keep getting better, because this teams needs an improvement from somewhere if they’re going to beat the Cavs in the playoffs

 No he’s not. In the article he says that they are both cool and the media made a story up and ran with it. 

He was talking about expanding his game and when Derrick Rose is out of the game he could run the offence and be the playmaker

 Jimmy Butler reminding me more and more of Brandon Roy, clearly not as good as Brandon Roy was ( sucha shame, top 3 shooting guard only behind Kobe and Wade) but they’re around the same height and the way they move is similar, and also have that strong posture. Next step is really to become the ball handler/playmaker Roy was.

 If Butler can create for guys with the ball, he’ll be awfully tough. His defense fell off this last year, next step for him is to be a top 2 or 3 go-to offensive option, while not sacrificing defensive effort. 

My guess is Butler saw what Hoiberg did in terms of not having a singular ball handler at Iowa State. They used their bigs and wings as well as PGs to initiate offense and the more guys that can pass the better.

As one of my favorite players, I really hope Butler continues to improve after a season where he pretty played all game, every game. Noah and Deng, the previous minute leaders under Thibs, slid after their respective marathon years. I pray the same thing does not happen to Jimmy.

I’m saying this with knowledge of the situation in the Locker room of Chicago.. Many guys on the bull took sides on the Thibs firing it was the big reason he lost support among players.. Rose and Butler were on other sides of Thibs getting canned, Butler wanted Thibs to stay..
