Last month I wrote this article about whether Jimmy Butler’s future with the Philadelphia 76ers should be in doubt and I felt like they had to commit to him. Butler has averaged 21.3 points, 4.3 assists, 5.2 rebounds, 2.4 steals, and 1 block per game while making 37.8 percent of his three-pointers and 47.1 percent of his shots overall this season.
His averages with the Sixers are 18.7 points, 3.8 assists, 5 rebounds, 1.9 steals, and 0.5 blocks while making 35.5 percent of his three-pointers and 48.3 percent of his shots overall, which is more than good enough to earn a max contract.
