35 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists! Beat the Lakers with his own hands! Butler is still waived

On October 19, the Phoenix Suns officially announced that they would officially lay off Jared Butler and give Jordan Goodwin a formal contract. Both are defenders and are in direct competition. They both had training camp contracts before. Reporter Keith Smith said that the Suns should keep both of them at the same time to increase the depth at the 1st position.

How cruel is the NBA? In the NBA preseason game on October 15, the Suns defeated the Lakers 113-104. Jared Butler made 14 of 26 shots, 5 of 10 three-pointers, 2 of 6 free throws, and scored 35 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists, and 0 turnovers. Goodwin scored 24 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 turnovers.

With 35+7+9 in a single game, and at the age of 25, Jared Butler couldn't even get a formal contract. In this year's preseason, he averaged 21 minutes per game, 15.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.8 steals, 0.5 blocks and 2 turnovers. The shooting percentage was 47.1%, the three-point shooting percentage was 35.3%, and the free throw percentage was 66.7%.

Goodwin also played four preseason games, averaging 19 minutes per game, averaging 12.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.8 steals, 0.3 blocks, and 1.8 turnovers. The shooting percentage was 46.2%, the three-point shooting percentage was 38.9%, and the free throw percentage was 70%. Butler was born on August 25, 2000, 2 years younger than Goodwin, and has better statistics.

Why did the Suns choose Jordan Goodwin and give up Jared Butler? Butler has a poor overall view, plays very independently, and needs to occupy a lot of ball rights. In the game against the Lakers, Booker, Jaylen Green and other main players did not play. Jordan Goodwin is a team player who is willing to do the dirty work and not fight for the shot.

Jared Butler is 1.91 meters tall and has a wingspan of 1.93 meters. Jordan Goodwin is 1.91 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.08 meters. Not only are the two men the same height, they are also rookies in the 2021 class. In the 2021 NBA Draft, Goodwin went undrafted and Butler was selected with the 40th overall pick. In the NBA, both of them are role players.

Goodwin played for the Wizards for the first two years of his career, and Butler played for the Wizards in the third and fourth years of his career. They were almost on the same team. So far in his NBA career, Goodwin has played 150 regular season games, including 24 starts. He averaged 18.1 minutes per game, 6.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 0.9 turnovers. His three shooting percentages were: 41%, 32.3%, and 76.3%.

In order to sign Smart this offseason, the Lakers had no choice but to waive Goodwin and Milton. Looking at Jared Butler, he has played 148 regular season games in his NBA career, including 19 starts. He averaged 13.8 minutes per game, 6.7 points, 1.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.1 turnovers. His three shooting percentages were: 45%, 34.1%, and 81.8%.

There are only three days left before the NBA regular season opener. Only a few players with training camp contracts can become regular players, and most players end up like Jared Butler. The Heat waived Achiuwa, the Jazz waived Bamba, the Mavericks waived Dennis Smith Jr., the Hornets waived Dinwiddie...

Finally, welcome to the discussion: Who do you think among these waived players can return to the NBA?
