The 6-foot-2 lead guard has burst on the high school scene and is already recognized as the catalyst that drives the Apaches’ offense, as well as a great floor spacer from beyond the arc, impressive positional rebounder, and the poise and awareness to push the ball up the court off the glass to get out in transition. Butts had a great showing on Day 1 of the Nike Fall Shootout, with an outstanding stat line against Arroyo Grande, finishing with a game-high 19 points, connecting on 4 threes, to go with 5 rebounds and 5 assists, showcasing his all around impact on the offensive end as a play maker and a bucket getter. Butts has dynamic handles, keeps the ball on a string to survey the floor, with good height to see over most perimeter on-ball defenders, the court vision and decision making to find open teammates off the drive and kick pass, to his diver out of the pick and roll action, up the court off the defensive glass, and zips it cross court to open shooters. Butts also has the moves to shake his defender, using the crossover combos, hesitation, fadeaway, one-footer, floater down the lane, and step-back to create space from his opponent, is accurate with the jumper from the mid-range to the 3-point line, and is a crafty scorer around the basket to evade shot blockers, using the euro-step, up-and-under, and reverse lay-ups to score in tight windows around the cup. Advantageous defender with good timing and instinct to deflect passes or jump passing lanes, as well as alter shots on the wing. A special one to keep an eye on.
