Through 2 games in the NBA Summer League Jimmy Butler has been the star of the Bulls squad.
Tonight Butler amassed 24 points while grabbing 7 rebounds and was a tremendous 8-8 from the foul line.
He's been drawing thee point plays, he's been all over the glass, and he's doing a majority of the scoring while out there.
Butler is going to be a key guy for the Bulls this coming season. Whith the former Bench Mob now almost completely depleted, Butler and Gibson will be the guys who are going to be expected to inject energy into the game as the second unit.
Mat would love to see Jimmy put the ball in the hoop a little bit more, like he's been doing in Summer League, to go along with his excellent defensive work.
Butler's offensive game is going to have a major effect on how successful the Bulls second unit is. If he can't score, it's going to be all up to Taj.
Butler has a chance to be a nice release valve for the pressure Gibson will carry while out there with the subs, if he can do it, you may be looking at a new, younger, version of the Bench Mob.
Mat expects a lot out of Jimmy this year, hopefully his expectations can be met.
