2. Jimmy Butler, Chicago Bulls

2014-15 Stats: 20 points, 5.8 rebounds

This is the era of the 3-and-D wings, and Jimmy Butler is definition of this at the shooting guard position.

Chicago always throws Butler on opposing teams best scorer, but then on the other end of the court, he shoots the ball at a good clip (47 percent from the field) and averages 20.3 points per game.

Look for Butler’s stats to dip a bit this season as he won’t be run into the ground (42.2 minutes per game last season) by his new head coach.
