I'm not interested in what it would take to trade for him, but what kind of a player is he? I haven't seen him play much. From his stats page I see he is a 6'7 SG who can't shoot (career 32.8% from 3), does decently on the glass and in the assist and steals departments (5.3 boards, 4.8 assists, and 1.6 steals per game last year)... what role does he fit on the Celts?
When I look at Jae Crowder's stats, I see a lot of similarities. Crowder is a year younger, 6'6, career 32.4% from 3, similar rebound and steal stats, a little less scoring and assists. Seems like Crowder is just a notch below Butler.
So ignoring what it would cost to get Butler, how / why would this make the Celts significantly better?
