He looked like Michael Jeffrey Jordan last night as Bulls color man Stacey King eluded to during last night's broadcast of the Bulls dramatic 85-84 "W" over the Atlanta Hawks. Having said Jimmy Butler dba the "See Red" Butler at Bluedude Sportstalk's "West Side Story Report" for Bulls Nation is letting the Logo and Bulls opponents know he is the hooting guard D-Rose has been coveting from day one.

Butler went off on the Highlight Factory 404 dba Atlanta Hawks last night putting his own highlight's together with a game-high 29 points. His game-winning money ball right off the Spalding money ball rack was a look into things to come from the 4th year sniper from Marquette.

It will be business as usual though as the "See Red" Butler is in a contract year making a little over $2 million in the 2014-15 season and that back end of his rookie deal. What i the market for Butler well he will have to carve one out. The Bulls know they need to keep him as he is also a defensive stalwart needed at the 2G and the wing with no Luol Deng. It will be interesting to see as Butler will a restricted free agent and the Bulls will like to see his market value from other suitors before putting Jerry Reinsdorf duffel bags of old Dead Presidents on the table.

the "See Red" Butler's Vitals & Career Digits

2011 NBA Draft #30 pick overall (1st round)
Tyler TX JC/Marquette University

2011-12 
42 gms no starts 2.6 ppg 1.3 rpg

2012-13 
82 gms 20 starts 8.6 ppg 4 rpg

2013-14
67 gms 67 starts 13.1 ppg 4.9 rpg 2.6 apg

You see his game evolving and look for him to be around that 15 to 16 ppg with 5 boards per as he will get plenty of open looks and opportunities playing off D-Rose and with the best passing Bigs in the Logo in Jo All-Star and the "Spaniard" Pau Gasol!

360 Degrees...Butler's game flourished under then Marquette and current Va Tech lead man Buzz Williams coming out of JUCO. As Buzz loves the versatile athletic players and in his system he lets his players play numerous positions. That has enabled the "See Red" Butler's floor game on the pro level become easier to move around from the sniper to the wing.
