Against NBA level rotation players, Butler seemed out of place on defense and couldn’t get a bucket to drop on offense he was a little shell-shocked. In the minutes Butler has played, his performances haven’t dropped any jaws. In all fairness, it isn’t without reason. Yet a third of the way through the 2021-22 season, Butler sits outside of Utah’s rotation, only seeing minutes as a part of the Salt Lake City Stars. I don’t know how many.” Clearly, at the beginning of the season, there existed a level of confidence, both in the Utah Jazz and Jared Butler, that a spattering of playing time throughout the year should be expected. Prior to the first game of the regular season, Butler had felt confident about receiving playing time, stating, “I know I’m going to get minutes tonight.
After a promising preseason where he averaged 18 points, 4.3 assists, and 1.3 rebounds, many thought that he’d find semi-regular minutes with the Jazz this year. Although medically cleared to play and fresh off of a NCAA championship, Butler dropped heavily in the draft due to fears about his future health.įortunately, this season, Butler has experienced good health with the Jazz. Butler, originally projected as an early first round pick, suffers from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a heart disease he was diagnosed with about three years ago. With the 40th pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, the Utah Jazz had Jared Butler, a six-foot-three guard from Baylor, fall into their lap.
