James (Jimmy) Butler is a glorified prime Corey Maggette...
With a spoiler on the back.
Not worth the max. He is an above average defender at best, he gambles WAY too much. Overrated defender to be quite frank.
Worth maybe 10m or so...

They have similar offensive games. Get the to the lines alot, hit the occasional midrange jumper, etc...
This type of offensive style may be effective in the regular season against most of the time, INFERIOR teams, but in the slow jam grind of the playoffs, more specifically the lockdown defensive eastern conference, that play style will get murdered. We saw what happened to James Harden.
The true mark of a great offensive player is versatility. Ability to score in various ways.

You can see the similarities in their play. Both hard-nosed, physical players with a knack for getting to the charity stripe. Hoo-haa. Corey is stronger and more built, but Jimmy is quicker.

You may be right. The problem with Maggette was that he was brittle. I don't think he ever played a full season. And they are no where near similar on defense. I agree that Butlers impact is too short of a sample size. But the Bulls gotta take that chance.

Whenever someone wants to shit on a SG today, they just compare him to Corey Maggette.

Knicks all da way
Re: James (Jimmy) Butler is a glorified prime Corey Maggette...
Jimmy Butler can lock people up, Maggette did the opposite. He was a black hole on offense and his defense was pathetic from what I remember. Stop the comparison game and stick with your DMC threads along with bashing his competition as best centers

Very good NBA starter

Re: James (Jimmy) Butler is a glorified prime Corey Maggette...
He is clearly the second best defensive SG in the game (Tony Allen might be getting nervous though), and his offensive game has improved vastly this year. He is not getting ticky-tack fouls. He legitimately gets hit and earns his trip to the FT line. I don't see why that should change in the playoffs. He is our leading scorer right now, but we really don't need him to be. So we'll be fine even if his PPG dips some in the playoffs. We have other players to pick up the slack.
