Scouting Journals for John Butler

A legit footer who moves like a wing. A long-strider, he runs very well. Switches ends of the floor quickly. A solid shot-blocker. Good timing. He moves well laterally for a guy his size. Needs strength and a lot of it. Did not play at the highest level of competition in high school. Can shoot the ball with range, and confidence, out to the 3-point line. Can handle the ball in space. Pushes the break and gets rid of the ball at the right time. A lot of upside to grow into here. It may take a year or two but should find himself on NBA radars. Won a state championship his senior year. Mom played basketball at South Carolina.
