Shocker...

 

[Crystallas]

How else would Butler and Deng play 48mpg?

And this will be the biggest off season move from PaxGar this summer.

I agree, and I've been saying this for a while now, I'm just surprised all you "he's better suited to play SF", 'whirling dooshes', are just now realizing this! :shrug:

 

[PolarBear]

Not surprising. Let's hope he has worked on that jump shot. If Jimmy can be a consistent 3 point shooter it will really help the whole team.

He said it yesterday, but he also said it when the season concluded.

i remember a time some bull fans questioned if jimmy would even be able to fill ronnie brewers role.....now hes our starting SG and ppl feel he can take dengs spot lol

i knew jimmy was gonna be special when he locked down melo his rookie year....and he STILL exceeded my expectations last year

he earned the starting spot

 

[JosMin]

Really glad hard work is paying off for Butler. Excited to see what he'll be able to do with extended minutes. It'll be interesting to see how much his shot has improved since the playoffs.

JB is a wing player that gives the Bulls a difficult matchup at the SG spot. Our SG will be big and a great defender while our PG is probably one of the fastest players in the game. If JB takes another step offensively, few teams will be able to matchup with the Bulls backcourt, imo. But hey, keep dreaming about Benji Pip, or is it fisch jr now? Shouldn't you be thankbangin some posts?

You're so cranky all the time! You need to find some dope or something. He can be our best option at SG this year and still be better suited at SF.

 

[ChiSoxCity]

If Butler develops a decent jumper and Rose is Rose this team could be unstoppabull :derbulls:

i know

hes so bitter ppl dont agree with his opinions

jimmy Butler is a small forward.

He's a wing and can defend both 2's and 3's. What's the problem? Don't get so fixed up on a player being at a certain position. It doesn't always work that way.

You obviously don't know me well.

Actually he´s a swingman

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swingman

A Swingman (also known as a Wing) is a basketball term denoting a player who can play both the small forward (the so-called "3") and shooting guard (the so-called "2") positions, and, in essence, swing between the shooting guard and small forward positions."[

Thank you, I was just about to post this too. Good swingmen are very difficult to find too.
