Last night:

Butler had 22 and Teague had 4 in Jazz loss to Mavs

MItchell had 13 for Kings

I watched a lot of Jazz game. Butler was very impressive.

2 games in preseason and Butler has led the Jazz in scoring each game.

I saw that Jared had 16 in his first preseason game, leading scorer both games so far. Preseason, so know it is not a huge deal, but he is getting a lot of minutes. Hope Macio can stick with them as well.

Butler lobbing to Azubuike just feels wrong

The Jazz got the steal of the draft.

No doubt. He looks so smooth....that stroke and his hesitation dribble....What a story.

Straight up fact. I hope they make it up to him in is second contract. Kid can play. Amazing person on top of that.

Mighty Baylor Bear Royce "Buckets" O'Neal had 12 pts and 8 rebounds in only 17 minutes and he looked strong and confident.

Butler made everyone look like they were in quicksand. How did he get a reputation for average athleticism?

He hits free agency sooner than all of the first rounders and will more than make up any early deficiency in salary (If healthy).

So excited for our former guards. I hope we are all watching a lot of NBA highlights this year.

For reference, Rudy Gobert led all of basketball with a 100.6 defensive rating last regular season (a lower number is better). That's elite stuff.

His draft status was delayed due to health concerns, unwarranted as it turned out.

I agree! Butler reminds me of someone like CJ McCollum, average pure athleticism but polished skills, shifty with high IQ and feel for the game. Measurables (size and wingspan), along with pure athleticism (speed and vertical jump) are grossly overrated by NBA scouts which is why there are so many busts every year. Give me a high IQ player who knows how to play every time, over an athletic freak with no IQ or feel for the game.

Both Butler and Mitchell are such great players. Staying the extra year paid off. I think they developed more with Baylor than they would have riding a bench somewhere. Being able to give meaningful minutes day 1 in the NBA allows them to continue that development.

So proud of them.

WOW on the video and love the player reaction

I think Butler's average athleticism reputation comes from playing with Mitchell and Flagler. He is not quicker than them, but they are quicker than everyone else.

I think Buttler was our best shooter.
