On some nights YES. Due to his overall game I would say that he's on the fringe of top 10. Kind of like Pippin. Some may argue that because he can bust out for 30 to 40 at any given time he's better than my boy, Scottie.

lol, did he edit Carmelo in? I didn't even see that. Yes, Butler is also far better than Carmelo. LTG does not know his NBA very well. |

Carmelo was also one of the people that played in front of him on the Olympic team. Jimmy Butler was down in Harrison Barnes territory as far as playing time. Glad to see you posting in hoop threads again now that baseball season over. |

Especially when you consider that the USA team had far more depth at guard or swingman than they did at PF/C. |

That is true but some of the guys that you say are better played in front of him though. George Anthony and Klay all were higher on the depth chart than Butler. Irving was also one of the best players on that team also. Truth be told I am actually rolling with Butler and Gibson this year. Gibson is the best option that they currently have at the 4 spot and I want Butler to be really good because it means that the Bulls will be good. I'm not going to place in that top 10 spot just yet. If I am truly objective he is probably about the 15th best player in the league. |

He's probably right around the 10-12 range this year. He's been great. |

LeBron James Steph Curry Kevin Durant James Harden Russ Westbrook Anthony Davis Kawhi Leonard Chris Paul Jimmy Butler Karl Anthony-Towns That is my Top 10. I'm not locked in to the order of my 4-7. But I'm comfortable with the 10 as a whole. And to clarify, that is the DEFINITIVE LIST. |

Butler has been good but he is a bit of a bumslayer. Anthony outplayed him in 3of 4 games when people on here were saying that he was better. It is hard to say a guy is better when he backed up every guy that I had in front of him. No logic in that |

MLB > NHL / NBA > PGA > ATP > NFL Olympics basketball is going to have loyalty / old boys club. Kobe would have been a starter if he wanted on the team, as an example. |
