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. 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. Butler initially declared for the 2020 NBA Draft, but ultimately decided to withdraw and returned to college. Baylor would go on to win the 2021 NCAA championship and Butler was named Final Four Most Outstanding Player. In May of 2021, Butler once again declared for the 2021 NBA Draft after graduating from Baylor in just under three years with a degree in Business-Management. He was selected with the 40th overall pick by the New Orleans Pelicans, but was quickly traded to the Utah Jazz via the Memphis Grizzlies
Career-best distribution effort
GWashington Wizards
March 26, 2024
Butler racked up eight points (3-12 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, 13 assists, two blocks and two steals in 27 minutes during Monday's 107-105 victory over Chicago.
ANALYSIS The 13 dimes were a career high for Butler, who continues to do a solid job filling in for Tyus Jones (back) in the Washington backcourt. Over the six games Jones has missed so far, Butler has averaged 23.5 minutes a contest with 8.5 points, 5.3 assists, 2.2 boards and 1.2 steals, although his 38.9 percent shooting from the floor and 18.2 percent from long distance (4-for-22) highlight his limitations.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
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.
