Jimmy Butler!

I know this is not the Bulls forum but I just wanted to hear some other NBA fans opinions on how he has been playing lately! Do you think if he develops a shot could he be the scorer the Bulls need next to Rose?

[JEDean89]

if he can be the bulls would be nasty. i think right now rose is enough to get the bulls into the conference finals/finals. bulls and okc have bright futures. who is the euro sg you guys have drafted that is supposed to be good too?

[fin_frenzy_84]

He is a PF, Nikola Mirotic! He has a nasty 3 point shot from what I have been reading, not really sure when he will be in a Bulls uni though!

He reminds me of Shumpert on the defensive end. Butler's offensive game is better than Shumpert's though imo.

Hopefully he can add a consistent jumper. You see flashes of that at times though.

I'd be lying if I said the kid didn't excite me.

I love, love, love this guy.

Ask AP=MVP about my love for this guy. When he was coming out of Marquette, I wanted so badly for the Lakers to nab this guy.

I thought he would be a starter for the Bulls full-time by the mid-way point this year, but it doesn't look like it will be. But I wouldn't be shocked to see him start for them next year at the 2 spot.

All he needs is to be more consistent with his jumper & this kid is an IDEAL, IDEAL role/wing player.

He looks like a solid player and will help on the defensive end. hopefully Rose comes back healthy.

I like him, reminds me of Trevor Ariza when Ariza was with the Lakers.

He's going to be pretty good.

Great young player. Would've been a nice first round pick had he not been injured. He's a Shumpert type player from what i've seen. Not quite as tenacious on defense though.

I would have to agree with this. They even kind of look the same. I'd bet Shumpert's wingspan is what separates them physically.

[Ladies Man]

I like Butler because he gives the Bulls depth. If he develops a shot he could start at the two.

I don't think you've seen enough of his defense then. He'll never get the steals but that's because he doesn't like to gamble. But his man defense is ridiculous.

I love butler. He can be great with a consistent jumper. Him shumpert and Bradley are gonna be players man
