Jared Butler

Butler returns for a second season in Washington after averaging career highs in points (6.3), assists (3.2), rebounds (1.5) and minutes (14.2) per game across 40 regular-season appearances last year. When given an expanded role, Butler was able to capitalize. He played at least 23 minutes six times and averaged 13.8 points, 8.8 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.5 steals during those contests. While Tyus Jones moved to Phoenix this offseason, the Wizards added Malcolm Brogdon via trade and drafted Carlton Carrington. Butler figures to be a reserve to open the season, but more minutes could become available if the Wizards fall out of contention and trade away veteran pieces.
