2010 NBA Draft Scouting Report: Da'Sean Butler


Position: Guard/Forward

Size: 6-7, 205

School: West Virginia, Senior


Strengths:

Pure shooter

Sweet stroke with a high release that makes it difficult to block

Great catch and shooter

Nice turnaround jump shot

Moves well without the ball

Can take advantage of smaller defenders by posting them up

Good court vision

Smart defender

High basketball IQ

Outstanding character guy

Mr. Clutch in late-game pressure situations



Weaknesses:

Athleticism

Lateral quickness on defense

Not great at attacking the rim off the bounce

Needs to become a better handler

Summary: Butler capped off an outstanding career at West Virginia with a stellar senior season. His basketball IQ is off the charts, he thrives in the big-pressure situations, and can shoot it from deep. However, a lack of athleticism and torn ACL suffered in the Final Four pretty much guarantees he will be a second-round pick.

Player Comparison: Sasha Pavlovic. Pavlovic overcame his lack of athleticism and stayed in the NBA due to his outside shot. Butler will need to follow suit if he hopes to make a career in the NBA.
