Jimmy Boy's hard work is very admirable, in addition, the outstanding talent of matching the second position is also popular in the third position, and in the small lineup, the cameo in the fourth position is not inferior, there are few players in the active players who can perfectly play the 2-4 position, Jimmy Boy is one of the best, but the Western mainstream media regards him as the existence of the league's top fifteen, but compared to the many team bosses behind him, is Butler convincing enough?
Alliance Tramp
From Chicago to Minnesota to Philadelphia, it finally ended up in Miami, and although it was only a year without making it to the playoffs, the five stops in the first round of the nine-year playoff resume were no less than Lillard's five stops in the first round. Not to mention that the lineup configuration is simply not much better than the Blazers. Chicago's MVP teammate Rose and later the double-one level Noah; minnesota's double-element plus the previous season's first-line defensive gate covington; Philadelphia's double-shaped and pro-flower playoff team; Miami's teammates were relatively weakest, but there was still Adebayo's second-level interior defensive gate, and Iguodala and Jay Crowder were both well-known defensive players who had been carrying tens of millions of annual salary level contracts. In contrast, Lillard has led the team alone since the fourth season, and only one retired Evan Turner on the team-side is the best show... Of course, Butler also has a brilliant performance, such as the Timberwolves' only seventeen seasons to reach the playoffs is the year Butler was in. But according to this logic, paul brought the sun that had been rebuilt for more than a decade to the finals stage in one fell swoop, shouldn't it be a league ace?
The best of the players of the same period?
Jimmy is the 30th pick in the first round of the Class of 2011, but his salary level is second only to Kelly Irving, and his contract will reach 175 million by the end of next season, compared to his "classmates" Leonard and Clay, two players who booked Hall of Fame, but he is far behind. In addition, the Heat have already renewed Butler's contract for four years and 184 million, which means that by the end of the 2022-2023 season, Butler will officially surpass Irving as the most profitable player in the class of 2011, but does his results match? Career 5 second defense + 4 thirds; in contrast, Irving has a crown + 1 second team + 2 thirds; Clay has a triple crown + 2 three squads + 1 second defense; Leonard has two crowns + 2fmvp + 2DPOY + 3 first squad + 2 second squad + 3 first defense + 4 second defense.
No butler can compare.
Poor offensive performance
The use of "bad" in the title of this section to describe Jimmy Boy's offense is not that he is really useless on the offensive end, but compared to his top 15 position in the league, it is really far away. Other seasons aside, take his best 2019-2020 season, the panel average of 20 + 6.5 + 6, while only 1.8 turnovers look good, but 45% + 24% + 83% This shooting rate is already weaker than more than 80% of the starters of all teams in the league, thanks to the large number of free throws and not low free throw shooting rate converted into a true shooting rate of only 58%, this number ranks outside the league 150, among the 16 playoff team leader members, Only higher than Westbrook and James; in the 36-minute efficiency/100-round efficiency of the two true statistics, the same ranking of the league after the 40th ranked at the end of the team leaders, the shooting added value is ranked in the bottom ten; in the regional shooting statistics, except for the paint area layup, the shooting rate of other areas is less than 40% ... With such efficiency, it seems to have found some reason to transition from a shooting guard to a player on the front court.
Written at the end of the article
Of course, Butler's contribution on the defensive end is still very large, but compared to defense, other aspects are stretched, but perhaps Miami did not have a healthy core guard before, and whether the arrival of the small steel cannon Lowry can change this situation after the arrival of Jimmy's possession is still unknown. But in terms of the past presented, Butler has a hard time matching the top of the league.
