    Jimmy Butler hasn’t played a lot for the Bulls this year but when he has he has done decent. I know he does not have superb talent but if I remember correctly he was supposed to be fairly NBA ready.. can anyone give me a rundown on his strengths/weaknesses and maybe why he isn’t playing?

    He’s played 8 minutes.  Even ian Mahinmi wouldn’t look so bad in 8 minutes (Though he would probably pick up 3 fouls)

    He isn’t playing because he doesn’t do anything that the Bulls don’t already have or need.

    Butler is a classic overachiever and I like his game, but the Bulls have a stable on the wing full of physical defensive-minded players who aren’t efficient shooters or shot creators. And on top of that, he’s young and still getting NBA experience and learning so, I guess there you have it.

      Thanks for your guys replies! Appreciate it. You’re right he’s still gaining experience and he doesn’t provide anything they don’t need.

     Jimmy Butler just scored 12 points in 12 minutes without a miss.

    likes to run Loul Deng into the ground. Look at last years minutes and this yrs so far. Deng doesn’t play an overly physical style so he can handle those minutes, but I wouldn’t mind having Butler get some of them because he is a good role player for a deep Bulls team.
