Butler was an important transfer addition for the Trailblazers as he brings positional size, athleticism and plenty of skill to the five-spot. The 6-foot-8 senior, who was at Eastvale Roosevelt his first three years of high school, has shown the ability to score around the rim as a cutter out of the dunker spot and when catching, gathering and finishing in ball-screen and roll action. Butler will also be an effective offensive piece in spot-up situations as he can knock down off-catch threes with time and space.

Butler’s immediate fit at Sierra Canyon is as a long, athletic and versatile defensive prospect who will thrive in the Trailblazers uptempo pressure style of defense. His combination of size, length and mobility will help with rim protection and defensive rebounding to jumpstart Sierra Canyon’s fast-paced offensive attack. Butler will be a lob threat, screen roll target and face-up perimeter shooter to help space the floor offensively. Butler spent his first three high school seasons at Eastvale Roosevelt.
