Analyst Says Jimmy Butler Has Been A Perfect Match For Warriors

There were worries about Jimmy Butler when he was traded to the Golden State Warriors, but the team has been thriving since his arrival.

A lot of people thought he wouldn’t be a good fit alongside Steph Curry and the rest of the team, and they didn’t know how head coach Steve Kerr would use him.

So far, things are working marvelously for Butler and Golden State—but can they keep it up?

Speaking on “Game Theory,” Sam Vecenie said that Butler is a perfect match for the Warriors, partly because he is “so smart and so good with his body” and can use his physicality to help the Warriors score.

Vecenie claimed that the concerns about Butler should be put to rest because it’s obvious that Kerr has figured out how he can use Butler to the team’s advantage.

Even with the complaints leveled against him, most people agree that Butler has a very high basketball IQ, and that is coming into play with the Warriors.

The man knows how to read the floor, his teammates, and his opponents very well and can outsmart the competition.

He has shown he knows how to adapt and work well with others throughout his career.

Miami Heat fans might argue against that because of how everything fell apart over the last few months, but there is no doubt that Butler is an experienced and intelligent player.

Because of that, he has fit into the rotation with Golden State, and he knows what he is supposed to do.

He is embracing his new role and seems happy doing so, which is really helping the Warriors.

He adds a level of physicality to the team, but his on-court strategy and smarts cannot be ignored because it is part of what makes him so special.
