I still prefer Butler way more than Cooper too but we need to be sure that Butler can actually safely have a career first

what about Butler says "NBA" ?

He looks a lot like a Chris Duhon or Frank Mason Jr type... really good college players dont always make really good NBA players. There are exceptions but Butler looks like a role player at best in the NBA. Backup PG and who's a good shooter.

I don't expect Butler to be a world beater in the league but at least I know what I'm getting. He's one of the best shooters in the draft who can get his shot off in almost every way(Pullup, step back, coming off screens) and its proven over two seasons with 2.6 makes per game shooting 38 percent on average with 51% on catch and shoot attempts. Thats near elite and that will 100% translate at the next level. Imagine Randle drive and kicks but instead of Rose and Payton, you have Butler in the corner?

Furthermore, he's a very underrated passer who makes very good reads out of the PnR. He's not as savvy as Giddey/Cooper but that shouldn't take anything away from him. If he is on our roster he'd instantly be our best passer and its not even close. Unlike Cooper, teams are forced to respect his shot which would make him the bigger threat. On top of that, he's a good defender.

I don't think Butler becomes anything more than a better Malcolm Brogdon type, but at the very least I know 100% what I'm getting with Butler. I can't say the same about Cooper.

Tgis is an intriguing player. To possibly get a high level pg all the way down at 19-21 would be a coup. My biggest concerns with him is defense shooting and legit height. But we have time to give him a hard look . If he’s legit he has to be high level consideration. I was hoping to get taller players but trae young abd chris paul are 6 feet tall

You might say we need Mitchell just for tray young.

The bonus is mitchell can also play and score.

The danger is Mitchell could be just a solid nba pg or backup while cooper could turn into a star.. who knows

No, that was typo. I think the revised measurements arena little over 6 feet.

huh, and it's also suspicious that he didn't officially get measured via NBA?

If that is the case, then he would be undersized but he shot the ball well at the combine. I trust the Knicks scouts on his potential but he seems like someone we would target with the 32nd pick
