    I think they overrate guys from winning teams and underrate those from losing teams.

    65th best guy is 65/30 = 2.16 which is a really bad second guy, or an above average 3rd guy, average being 2.5.

    Butler is the Bulls #5 guy.

    He also had two poor seasons in there, one in Atlanta which lead the Hawks to gladly let him walk and one in Portland which still annoys Blazer fans.

    Butler may be overranked where he's at but I don't think Crawford is an example of a player deserving to be his equal.

    I think theres just far less stud players than people realize in this league. Thats why Paul George isn't overpaid.

    I realize you don't like him because he didn't pan out for the Blazers, but he's been 6th man of the year and a candidate each season, plus double the scorer in similar minutes, etc., to Butler. I'm not saying Crawford should be ranked higher than he is. I'm questioning why Butler for his part time defense is so much higher ranked than Crawford for his part time offense.

    61 would make him #3 option on the best team in the NBA. In theory.

    Maybe the Bulls are fortunate to have him as #3 option, which he's always been for them (behind Rose and Deng).

    Except when Nate Robinson was in the game. He was 1st option with Deng 2nd.

    He was born in 1988. That's why he wears 88. Not sure if he is 24 or 25.

    57/30 = 1.9
    which puts him at an above average 3 or a below average 2. Live up to the hype Nico!
