Scouting Florida State basketball commitment John Butler: What does the 7-footer bring to the Seminoles?

Last week, Florida State men’s basketball team reeled in yet another 2021 blue-chip recruit, this time in the form of South Carolina seven-footer John Butler. If you’ve followed FSU hoops it should be no surprise that Leonard Hamilton and company convinced a player standing over 84 inches to join the ‘Noles. In fact, this is the second 7+ footer to commit to the 2021 class, with Naheem McLeod already in the fold.

But not all big men bring the same skill set to Tallahassee. Some, like Jon Kreft , are massive screen-setters who do the dirty work underneath that doesn’t always make a box score.
