Previous Ranking: Honorable Mention

Jimmy Butler is having an amazing season thus far, and he is doing so while flying under most people’s radar.

Coming into the NBA, Jimmy Butler was a three-and-D player, now he is one of the best two-way players in the league.

Playing alongside two ball dominant guards in Chicago, in Rajon Rondo and Dwyane Wade, Butler is putting up MVP caliber numbers and doing so while leading the Bulls to an 10-6 start.
