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. Read Past Outlooks

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary
Jared Gladwyn Butler was born in August of 2000 in Reserve, Louisiana. The guard is the son of Richard and Juanea Butler. In 2013-14, Butler began his high school career as just an eighth-grader on the Riverside Academy varsity basketball team which won three consecutive state titles from 2014 to 2016. In his senior season, Butler averaged 27.4 points, 8.8 rebounds, 8.4 assists and 3.0 steals and was named the 2017-18 Player of the Year by the New Orleans Times-Picayune. Butler initially enrolled to play basketball at the University of Alabama but transferred before the start of his freshman season to Baylor where he averaged 10.2 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.7 assists and was named to the Big-12's All-Freshman team. As a sophomore, he led the Bears with 16 points per game and was named First Team All-Big 12.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
Having played a grand total of just 48 games during his first two years in the league, Butler will open the season with the Wizards. He managed just six games for the Thunder during the 2022-23 campaign, scoring 25 points in 46 minutes during the regular season finale. He will be on a two-way contract with his new team, meaning he could once again spend a lot of time in the G League. At this point, the Wizards would need to be in full tank mode for him to even be considered a viable fantasy target.
Butler was selected by the Jazz with the 40th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. Butler had a strong third season at Baylor as he helped carry his team to an NCAA championship while averaging 16.7 points, 4.8 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 2.0 steals. The guard hit an impressive 47.1 percent from the field and 41.6 percent from behind the three-point arc in his final season at Baylor. He has upside as a microwave scorer at the NBA level, and if things pan out right, he could be a similar player to his teammate, Jordan Clarkson, though Butler probably has more defensive potential. That said, Butler probably won't see regular minutes this season.
